ROHNERT PARK, CA--(Marketwire - December 10, 2008) - Red Condor, a leading provider of fully managed email security
solutions, today announced the addition of Kip Quackenbush as vice
president of sales. For more than 20 years, Quackenbush has served in a
variety of management and executive sales leadership roles, most recently
as vice president of worldwide sales and marketing for Akonix Systems where
he helped grow the business from 100 to more than 1,500 customers. At Red
Condor, Quackenbush will be responsible for building and managing the field
sales organization and the authorized reseller programs
for value-added
resellers.
"We are excited to add Kip to our team, bringing his expertise, energy and
proven track record in the critical areas of sales and partnership
management," said Thomas Steding, president and CEO of Red Condor. "Kip will be able to
leverage Red Condor's strong foundation of more than 12,000 business
domains and over 2.5 million mailboxes, as well as a growing channel sales
program that includes several top national resellers. We are in a
tremendous position to grow, and with Kip's strategic contributions and
direction, we will build upon current momentum and continue to help solve
companies' email security challenges with better technology and world-class
customer service."
In addition to Akonix Systems, Quackenbush has also held sales, business
development, marketing, field operations and delivery organizations at
Commerce One, Excalibur, Oracle, Digital Equipment Corporation and Pacific
Bell. Quackenbush earned a bachelor's degree in political science from the
University of California at Berkeley.
"What will continue to distinguish Red Condor from the other email security
companies is its innovation," stated Quackenbush. "While nearly everyone
needs email security, many companies have simply settled for the standard
way of doing things, and as a result, have added one more time consuming
and laborious process to their already overburdened IT departments. Email
security is a business challenge, and Red Condor has a proven technology
that simplifies spam filtering
for customers of all sizes -- from small business to large ISPs -- lowering
the total cost of ownership by up to 60% over the competition. Red Condor
has an amazing track record, and I am excited about the opportunity to
share the company story and further extend its sales reach into the
marketplace."
