Marketworks Signs on CFO, VP of Sales and VP of Marketing as Result of Growth in Customer Acquisition and International Expansion
The Leading Sales Automation Provider Broadens Product
from Strictly eBay to Multi-Channel Online Selling
(Atlanta, GA – July 21, 2004): Marketworks – the Atlanta-based leading provider of sales automation software and marketing services for multi-channel online selling – has strengthened its Senior Management team by adding three new positions. Doug Hadaway is the Chief Financial Officer, Tina Reese is Vice President of Global Sales and Masami Suzuki is the new Vice President of Marketing for the five-year-old company.
As the number one provider of sales automation software and marketing services for eBay sellers, Marketworks facilitates over $25 million a month in gross merchandise sales. As online selling is accelerating, over $55 billion of merchandise was sold online in 2003, companies are turning to Marketworks to continue to lead the way with functionality that facilitates selling via multiple online channels.
“As we expand internationally and grow our customer base, the profile of our customer is changing,” explains Alec Peters, CEO and Founder of Marketworks, “The small business client is looking to sell in new online markets and we are dealing with more enterprise customers that require a different level of service offering. With these three strategic hires, we can focus on fulfilling the expanding needs of our customers and concurrently solidify top line revenue growth for Marketworks.”
Doug Hadaway, a seasoned CFO, brings 19 years of strategy and finance experience, specifically in mergers and acquisitions and international business, to Marketworks. In his last three CFO positions, all in the technology space and most recently with Synchrologic, Hadaway has played a significant role in the successful acquisition of each rapid growth company.
Known for building high performance sales teams to accelerate sales growth is what Tina Reese, Vice President of Global Sales, brings to Marketworks. With over 12 years of experience serving in senior positions for leading global technology companies, Reese’s expertise goes far beyond process improvements to help companies refine their organizational structure, product lines, sourcing, sales channels and market position.
In the new position of Vice President of Marketing, Masami Suzuki relocated from Northern California to Atlanta, and is charged with driving corporate and product marketing activities to establish Marketworks as the leading multi-channel online selling provider. Prior to joining Marketworks, Suzuki served as VP of Marketing for Connection to eBay, a joint venture between Accenture and eBay that offered end-to-end services to enterprises for selling on eBay.
“I’m incredibly excited and proud of the depth and breadth in our senior management team,” explains Peters. “The team is in place to lead the organization strategically, accelerate growth and ensure that our customers can truly realize ‘commerce without limits’ as we expand our business.”
