SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - February 26, 2008) - SkyRecon Systems (www.skyrecon.com), a
strategic provider of unified endpoint security solutions, today announced
that it has appointed Eric Goldberg as Director of Sales for North America.
Goldberg joins SkyRecon from Microsoft, where he was North American Sales
Manager responsible for Microsoft's edge security solutions under the
Forefront brand.
Goldberg brings a wealth of sales experience to SkyRecon, including his
time at Microsoft where he was responsible for launching and growing the
IAG 2007 business, and at Whale Communications, where as Vice President of
Sales he helped grow the business year-over-year, and where he personally
helped close over 200 SSL VPN sales.
Also at Whale, Goldberg was instrumental in breaking the company's sales
records for a single deal in three consecutive quarters. The company's
rapid growth and key strategic relationships created by Goldberg led to its
purchase by Microsoft.
"We are very pleased to have found someone with this level of sales
experience to join the company," said SkyRecon CEO Ravy Truchot. "Eric's
accomplishments have established him as a key player, someone known to a
large number of big companies as a provider of solutions, with the contacts
and focus to really drive sales."
Prior to Whale, Goldberg served as General Manager of Biodata Information
Technology, running sales and marketing of the company's data encryption
products in the Americas. During his tenure there he oversaw the global
rollout of communications encryption, working with major defense
contractors including Boeing, BAE, United Technologies and Northrop
Grumman.
SkyRecon's unified endpoint protection solution is the first in the
industry to provide an integrated single-agent solution with real-time
defenses designed to protect an organization's endpoints and the critical
business data that resides on them from the multitude of intranet,
internet, and user-based threats.
