ENGLEWOOD, CO--(Marketwire - March 12, 2010) - Evolving Systems, Inc. (
Mr. Gartside's decision to step down from the board is part of an orderly transition that has been planned for some time and is based on his desire to focus on his role as President of Newton Running, a privately-held company specializing in the design of performance running shoes.
"We are very grateful to Stephen for his leadership and many contributions to Evolving Systems over the past nine years. He was instrumental in transforming us into the global company we are today," said Thad Dupper, Evolving Systems' President and CEO. He added, "Stephen is, and always will be, a valued colleague and good friend."
"Evolving Systems has made substantial progress as a global company and I am very proud of my association with the Company, but it is now time for me to focus my full energies on my position at Newton Running," said Gartside. He continued, "I am proud to have served this outstanding organization and I wish everyone at Evolving Systems continued success. I have no doubt that the Company has a terrific future."
Mr. Gartside joined the Company in August 2001 and has served on the Board since January 2004.
The Board also approved a reduction in size from nine to eight members. The Board intends to appoint a Lead Independent Director in the near future.
