Maximizer Software Co-Founder Joins Voice Mobility as President
VANCOUVER, December 20, 1999 --- Voice Mobility International, Inc. (NQB:
VMII), a leading software developer of Internet-based, unified messaging
systems, today announced the appointment of Tom O'Flaherty, a veteran software
technology executive, as President.
In a career which has spanned more than 30 years in technology businesses,
Mr. O'Flaherty is best known as the founder of Maximizer contact management
software. Maximizer was acquired in 1993 by Modatech Systems Inc., a sales force
automation software company which subsequently named him President and Chief
Executive Officer. Prior thereto, he co-founded Bedford Software Limited, a
small business accounting software developer which was acquired by Computer
Associates in 1989. Most recently, Mr. O'Flaherty was a principal with Ernst &
Young and Leader of the High Technology Practice in Vancouver, a position he
held for four years. He currently serves on a number of technology-related
boards and committees.
"New technology concepts present unique marketing challenges," commented
Tom O'Flaherty. "My experience in successfully positioning early stage
companies, building teams and marketing new product ideas seems particularly
relevant to Voice Mobility as unified messaging prepares to take its place as a
service that millions will demand. I look forward to taking on this challenge
and helping Voice Mobility capture market share," he added.
"Tom's appointment is a tremendous win for our company and its
shareholders," said Jay Hutton, Voice Mobility's Chief Executive Officer. "I
look forward to having his strategic input in crafting and achieving our
corporate goals," he added.
Voice Mobility is a Vancouver-based unified messaging software company
focussed on convergent technology. With unified messaging, voicemail, faxes and
Email can be reviewed, stored and managed using a personal computer, a wireless
device or the telephone. Voice Mobility markets its e-go(tm) software to
telephone companies, Internet Service Providers, Competitive Local Exchange
Carriers (CLECs), Application Service Providers (ASPs) and wireless
communications providers for resale to the consumer.
