CaseCentral Names New Executive Vice President of Field Operations
- New CEO Tom Thimot Continues Expansion of CaseCentral Management Team Former Stellent EVP Jud Coleman Adds Proven Go To Market Leadership
SAN FRANCISCO — March 25, 2008 — CaseCentral, a leader in delivering eDiscovery solutions to FORTUNE 1000 corporations and the law firms that serve them, today continued the expansion of its executive team, naming Jud Coleman as executive vice president of field operations. Coleman is the third new executive appointed by CEO Tom Thimot since he became chief executive in January. Coleman will direct all sales for the company, leveraging over 15 years of experience with organizations including Stellent, where he served as executive vice president of North American sales and helped grow annual revenue to over $122 million.
"CaseCentral is moving into 2008 with terrific momentum. Jud Coleman is a great addition to our management team, and in his role as executive vice president of field operations he will build the world- class sales team we need to meet the increased demand for our eDiscovery solutions," said CaseCentral CEO Tom Thimot. "I came to CaseCentral to accelerate our growth — and Jud's history of dramatically growing sales revenue at companies like Stellent, Siebel and Lawson makes him a perfect match for our company."
Coleman comes to CaseCentral after four years at Stellent, where he held a number of high level management positions, including executive vice president for North American sales. As EVP, Coleman led an organization of over 80 people, and directed sales and partner activities that increased annual revenue by over 60% to more than $122 million. Stellent, a leading enterprise content management firm, was acquired by Oracle just over a year ago.
Prior to Stellent, Coleman spent seven years in sales and sales management positions at Siebel Systems, where he was a significant contributor as it grew from a CRM start up to one of the most respected software providers in the industry. Previously, Coleman spent four years in direct and channel sales positions at Lawson, a leading ERP provider. Coleman's sales career began as a top performer at EDS/McDonnell Douglas where he spent nine years in various sales and business development roles. Coleman has received numerous honors, including being named to Siebel's President's Club (top 10%), and achieving Top Sales Representative of the Year at both Lawson and EDS/McDonnell Douglas.
"I am proud to join CaseCentral's executive team, and will begin the immediate expansion of our sales organization and partner sales activities across the country," said Coleman. "The eDiscovery market is in the midst of incredible expansion, with a wide set of competing and complementary players. As an early leader, CaseCentral is well-positioned for success as the market matures. Stellent, Siebel, Lawson and EDS/McDonnell Douglas all faced the similar challenge of breaking through the $100 million barrier while maintaining a clear leadership position in their industries. I will leverage that experience as we at CaseCentral work to achieve those same objectives."
