AEROPRISE PROMOTES DAN TURCHIN TO CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, ALAN FRASER TO CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
Executive Promotions Reflect Significant Improvement in the Company's Financial Performance And an Influx of New Investment Capital
Mountain View, Calif. - June 30, 2008 - Aeroprise, Inc., the world’s most-deployed mobility solution for BMC® Remedy®, today announced the promotion of two executives, as well as an influx of new investment capital. Dan Turchin has been promoted from Chief Technology Officer to Chief Executive Officer. Former CEO Alan Fraser has been promoted to become Aeroprise’s chairman of the board.
"We're very excited about the future prospects for Aeroprise,” said Turchin. “Particularly given our strong sales momentum and new investments from our existing investor."
"This company has come far in a very short period of time,” said Fraser. “We've successfully transitioned our technology and business focus to a dedicated BMC Remedy channel model and established strong commercial validation with some of the world's largest IT organizations. We expect 2008 to be a particularly good year for us."
Aeroprise is coming off an already strong 2007, signing increasingly larger contracts with Fortune 500 companies and large federal government agencies – often at the expense of much bigger competitors. In addition, many of its early customers have returned to add significantly more licenses, which in many cases has doubled or tripled the value of the original contract.
Aeroprise has also secured additional investment from its existing investor, vSprings Capital.
"The team at Aeroprise has taken the company to a point where it's poised for significant growth, both from a technology and business perspective,” said Paul Ahlstrom, partner at vSpring Capital. “This is a great example of the type of opportunity we're always interested in developing.”
