Coverity Names Steven Machernis as Managing Director - EMEA
Former director of Motorola's embedded computing business in Europe brings
22 years of technology management experience to leading source code analysis company
SAN FRANCISCO, February 13, 2006 –
Coverity, Inc., makers of the world’s most advanced
and scalable source code analysis solution, today announced
the appointment of Steven Machernis as Managing Director
- Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). In this role,
Machernis will manage sales, support, services, partnerships,
channel development and marketing in EMEA.
Prior to joining Coverity, Machernis held a number
of international management and business development
roles with the embedded computing business of Motorola
Networks. Along with a number of positions throughout
the U.S., Machernis held leadership roles in the UK
and Germany where he drove Motorola’s European
efforts to capitalize on high growth communications
opportunities as Director, Telecommunications Segment
Sales. After returning to the Boston area, he held the
position of Director, North American Sales – Eastern
Region.
"After seeing tremendous growth in our sales in
Europe in 2005, we decided to invest more resources
in the EMEA markets and are bringing Steve in to lead
our activities in this exciting area," said Seth
Hallem, CEO of Coverity. "Under Steve’s leadership,
Coverity is committed to expanding our efforts in Europe
and to providing our customers with a support network
to augment our robust tool that enables them to develop
best-in-class software.”
"Some of the most talented software developers
in the world reside in the European region and I intend
to help these teams bring secure and reliable software
to market faster at lower costs," said Machernis.
“I’m excited to take part in the growth
of the software development market in Europe and to
help developers integrate the world’s best software
development processes into their product development
cycles. Coverity stands alone as the premier static
analysis engine to identify complex software defects
and security flaws that can be painfully expensive to
correct later in the development process or after customer
release."
Coverity has a number of customers in the EMEA including
AudioÇodes, American Power Conversion, Check
Point Software, Ericsson, France Telecom, Marconi, Nokia,
Nominet, and Symbian. Current EMEA resellers include
Scientific Computers in the UK and Sodima in France.
