Altiris, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATRS), a pioneer of service-oriented management software, has today appointed Emile Freiha to the position of director of marketing and operations in a move to head major growth in Europe.
Freiha has over 17 years' experience in system integration, strategic partnering, global programme management and contract negotiations. Former Global Alliances director at Capgemini, Freiha will be tasked with steering Altiris' marketing, sales support centre, order management, software renewals and telemarketing. Having successfully managed a number of strategic alliance relationships such as SAP, IBM and Sun Microsystems, Freiha helped launch Capgemini's Global Partner Programme and plans to replicate his success at Altiris.
Previously, Freiha was a managing consultant at Deloitte & Touche Consulting where he managed the outsourced IT client services department for BP in the United States.
"This is an ideal time for Emile to join the European team," said Ed Reilly, EMEA General Manager at Altiris. "His experience in enhancing the performance of large corporate initiatives combined with his passion and knowledge of the systems management industry will be a valuable asset in driving our plans for development into Europe."
Freiha said, "Altiris is one of the fastest growing IT companies in the world with 22% growth in revenue in 2006 alone; this should not be in the 'well-kept secrets' category. Our recent acquisition by Symantec gives us a unique opportunity to leverage our success and value proposition to the market on a bigger scale especially in Europe."
Freiha holds an MBA in Finance & Management Information Systems from the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland Ohio. In addition, he holds a BS & MS in International Management from the Management and Business Administration Institute in Paris. In 2000, he received Capgemini's Overachievers Award.
