Altiris has had significant growth in EMEA during the past six years and Reilly will be responsible to drive continued growth in this geography. He will oversee all operations including sales, marketing and customer services. Ed is very familiar with the systems management market having previously worked as vice president of sales for Peregrine Systems, and most recently as central area director of sales for Altiris where he helped grow Altiris business by more than 20 percent. Reilly's team has been the number one sales team at Altiris for the past two years. In the past he has managed multinational account teams including British, Dutch, French and Middle Eastern teams.
Reilly began his career as a controller with Digital Equipment Company and managed the profit and loss for several large divisions at DEC including their software support division.
"We considered many internal and external candidates all with very good international experience," said Greg Butterfield, Altiris president and CEO. "Ed was the clear front runner because he has proven his ability to work effectively with our employees and business partners to build Altiris business. I believe in taking the best people and assigning them to the biggest opportunities. Ed has the skills and experience to continue our growth in EMEA."
Reilly said, "The EMEA market holds significant potential for Altiris offerings. According to Gartner we should see an annual market growth rate in excess of 13 percent in 2006. I believe Altiris is optimally positioned to garner market opportunities by leveraging our solid partner base, both on the alliance side with Dell, HP, IBM, Fujitsu Siemens Computers, as well as our channel and SI partners.
