Company Hires Former i2 Executive to Lead Revenue Expansion Efforts and Meet Growing Demand for Evant Solutions
SAN FRANCISCO, April 21-- Evant, the leading provider of merchandise planning, demand and replenishment software for finished-goods retailers, wholesalers and distributors, today announced the addition of Terry Turner to the management team. As vice president of worldwide sales, he is responsible for expanding the sales and field operations in the United States and Western Europe.
Turner joins Evant from i2 Technologies, where he served in various sales executive roles over the past eight years. In his final role as a vice president of sales, Turner led i2`s efforts to penetrate the consumer goods, soft goods (apparel and footwear) and retail industries. Even when the enterprise software market softened in 2001 and 2002, Turner led his organization to exceed its revenue goals and was one of the top revenue units for i2.
"The timing is perfect to bring Terry on board at Evant, as we have aggressive growth plans for our domestic and foreign markets," said Katrina Roche, president and COO of Evant. "Terry has an unsurpassed track record in building sales organizations from the ground up, and his industry expertise in enterprise software, consumer packaged goods and retail will be key as we move towards the next stage in our company`s expansion."
"There are few enterprise software companies with as much positive market traction and product strength as Evant," said Turner. "The company achieved a 300% revenue increase last year, and is executing well ahead of plan for Q2 and Q3, which includes three major customer go-lives in the past month. Evant is clearly on a successful trajectory, and I look forward to continuing this momentum."
