Former Nominum VP of Global Sales to Serve as VP of Worldwide Sales and Business Development and Former Brand Manager and AOL Veteran Named New VP of Marketing
SAN BRUNO, Calif. - June 4, 2007 -
Devicescape Software today announced it has expanded its executive management
team with the addition of two seasoned telecom and consumer industry veterans - Miguel Nhuch and Bill McIntosh. Nhuch joins as its vice president of
worldwide sales and business development, and McIntosh joins Devicescape as
its vice president of marketing. These two executives will help lead the
development of the company's rapidly growing customer base of device
manufacturers and network operator customers, and Devicescape's
consumer-facing brand.
"With their combined industry experience, Miguel and Bill will play leadership
roles to further the company's growth," said Dave Fraser, CEO of Devicescape.
"Miguel's history of working with various local, regional and global sales
channels brings OEM and telecom domain expertise, and Bill brings deep
consumer and online marketing experience. Together, they will be invaluable
to growing Devicescape’s customer base."
Nhuch is a veteran with more than 20 years of sales experience at software
companies. Before joining Devicescape, Nhuch was Nominum's vice president of
global sales and channels, where he was responsible for driving the overall
revenue of Nominum worldwide. During his tenure at this leading provider of
network naming and addressing solutions, Nhuch ensured that all major telcos
around the globe used Nominum's technologies in their infrastructure. Nhuch
also oversaw direct sales into strategic accounts and the management of
strategic OEM partnerships. Prior to Nominum, Nhuch served as vice president
of global business development at Entrust Technologies, as vice president of
business development at Weblogic (now BEA Systems) and as vice president of
international and business development at Forte Software. Nhuch holds a BS
in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, and Computer Science.
"Devicescape's service provides Wi-Fi network operators with a channel to
significantly increase their user base, increase the utilization of their
Wi-Fi networks and add a plethora of new devices from existing subscribers to
the network," said Nhuch. "I am eager to build partnerships with leading
operators and the major device manufacturers around the world to unlock the
complete potential of existing and next-generation Wi-Fi devices coming to
market."
McIntosh has over 15 years experience developing and building new products
and businesses. Prior to joining Devicescape, McIntosh served as VP of
marketing at HedgeStreet Inc., an early stage consumer focused online
derivatives exchange. As an Executive Director at AOL, McIntosh served in
several marketing leadership roles including AOL Personal Finance, AIM and
ICQ instant messaging services, and Digital City (AOL's local business).
Previously, McIntosh helped lead the development and launch of
washingtonpost.com. He began his marketing career as a brand manager at
Warner Lambert Canada working on several brands including Rolaids and Dentyne.
He holds a BA from Queen's University in Canada and an MBA from Harvard
Business School.
"Devicescape has delivered technology that has the potential to transform the
consumer Wi-Fi experience," said McIntosh. "I look forward to building new
services and a brand that delivers on the promise of making Wi-Fi easy for
everyone."
