Media Contact FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Jessica McMahon TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES STRENGTHEN THEIR EXECUTIVE TEAMS IN CONJUNCTION WITH NEWLY ANNOUNCED LGES RECRUITING PRACTICE Specializing in executive search in Sales, Marketing and Business Development, LGES’ partners offer a powerful blend of search and operational experience to the marketplace. SAN RAMON, CA – September 1, 2006 – LGES, a national retained executive search firm headquartered in San Ramon, California, announced today the launch of a specialized practice dedicated to executive searches focused on Sales, Marketing and Business Development for the high-tech sector. As mentioned in Infoworld’s May 5 issue, “technology workers are the future. Innovation starts and ends with people, not mergers and acquisitions.” With the cost of faulty hiring estimated to be 50-150% of an executive’s annual salary, LGES saw an opportunity to expand its consultative approach to recruiting at the executive level - where it is most needed. The new practice will be headed by Bob Currie, co-founder and partner at LGES. Joining Bob will be technology industry veterans in executive-level sales and marketing. The team will consist of Patrick Arnone, formerly of Oracle and Sybase; John Calamia, formerly of Sybase, Tivoli, Vignette and Cullinet; and Peter Engler, former VP of Marketing for Citibank, where he helped pioneer home computer banking and ATM marketing. “We are very excited about the formation of this new practice. We have much to offer our clients who must make critical hiring decisions for these make-or-break-type positions for high growth or early stage companies. Our instincts for identifying talent made each of us successful in sales management. Now we have the opportunity to extend that experience to our clients,” Bob Currie states. John Calamia adds, “We offer a powerful one-two punch combination consisting of extensive sales and marketing business experience as well as many years of successful executive search experience. This separates us from many other firms in the search industry.” “Our success in sales and marketing management on a nationwide basis, in high growth companies like Oracle, Sybase, Tivoli, Vignette and Brio, gives the group a unique perspective. This extensive experience allows us to have an immediate and positive impact in high tech firms. Also, we are dispersed geographically with offices in the San Francisco Bay Area, New York and Washington D.C. to provide optimized national coverage,” Patrick Arnone states.
