SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwire - Nov 30, 2011) - Selectica, Inc. (
"We couldn't be happier that Doug has agreed to take on this new role," remarked Jason Stern, President and CEO of Selectica. "His impressive aptitude for developing and executing scalable, high-growth strategies and programs for cloud software companies falls precisely in line with the company's objectives going forward."
At Selectica, Bell will oversee the sales, channel, and marketing organizations and will focus initially on leading those teams to position the company's cloud offerings, develop markets, and forge new partnerships. His appointment reflects the company's focus on responding to growing interest in cloud-based contract management, sales configuration, and guided selling solutions.
Bell brings extensive experience in strategic planning, channel program development, and cloud software marketing. Before joining Selectica, he was Vice President of Marketing and Alliances at Arena Solutions, a dominant provider of cloud-based solutions for mid-market manufacturers. He also led product marketing for Invoice and Network Services On-Demand at Ariba, and he was Director of Product Marketing at I-many. Bell's new position at Selectica marks his homecoming, as he previously served as the company's Vice President of Marketing.
"With its cloud-based products, Selectica has the ability to improve margins and efficiencies for organizations trying to scale sales," Bell noted. "The potential benefits for those growing companies are breathtaking if you consider the very real -- and very significant -- value that our products have been delivering to the Fortune 1000 for more than 15 years."
