Share:
SAN MATEO, Calif. - July 2, 2007 - Composite Software, Inc., the on-demand data integration company, today announced the appointment of Katy Mann and Pamela Sotnick as Federal Account Managers to its Federal Government practice. Mann and Sotnick bring more than 35 years of combined experience in high-technology solution sales and operations to Composite.
"Composite is experiencing tremendous growth within the federal sector," said Christian Nall, vice president Sales at Composite Software. "With increased information sharing, 'net-centric initiatives and service-oriented architecture (SOA), the federal government is recognizing the compelling need to access sensitive information on demand, which plays directly to Composite technology's strengths."
Mann and Sotnick are joining Composite's Federal Government practice run by Director Erin Hawley, where they will focus initially on reaching out to the Federal Intelligence communities. The two new recruits are also charged with bolstering the successful momentum within the Department of Defense already achieved by Hawley and her team.
As a successful job-sharing partnership, Mann and Sotnick have been partners since July 2000. "We've teamed to provide technology solutions to the federal government, and we understand their complex requirements," noted Sotnick. "When we learned how Composite simplifies the tough task of federating heterogeneous agency data in support of major 'net-centric/SOA initiatives, we were excited about the opportunity to help our long-time customers meet a critical need with Composite's powerful capabilities."
Mann and Sotnick most recently spent five years at Network Appliance Federal Inc. (NetApp), where they delivered $95 million in data management solutions to federal agencies. In addition, the team was ranked first in sales in 2004 for achieving 400 percent of its annual sales goal. Prior to Network Appliance, Mann and Sotnick teamed at Cisco Systems, where they were recognized as Account Manager of the Year for Mid-Atlantic area.
In addition to the new hires in sales and operations, Composite Software has a dedicated team of engineers working with key federal system integrators. The federal team works out of the Composite Government Office located in the Reston Town Center in Reston, Virginia.
