Lee brings to Firetide more than 25 years of international business development, sales and marketing experience in telecommunications, IT start-ups and public companies. Lee's appointment coincides with the recent availability of Firetide's new MIMO solution, which the company expects will have an impact on EMEA sales. Lee has held executive level management positions with companies including BBN, Lucent Technologies, Xedia Networks, and NET. In addition, he has played an instrumental role in launching and building to revenue-generating mode more than ten start-up companies across Europe. "With the addition of MIMO to our family of wireless infrastructure mesh products, we see a huge opportunity for Firetide in EMEA. I am pleased that Lee with his experience and track record will be leading our sales effort there," said Bo Larsson, chief executive officer at Firetide. "The opportunity in EMEA, where there's no market leader, is about the same size as in North America, and we plan to capitalize on that."
