FREMONT, Calif., June 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Lecorpio (www.lecorpio.com), the leader in cloud-based Intellectual Property (IP) management and analytics, today announced Kurt F. Wedel as vice president of global sales.
Wedel is the latest addition to the Lecorpio leadership team, after the recent appointments of Sunny McRae as vice president of engineering and Mark Bullard as vice president of product management. In this newly established role, Wedel will manage Lecorpio's global sales and operations, including scaling the sales organization, onboarding customers, and expanding partnership development opportunities.

Prior to that, Wedel was senior vice president of sales and business development at MarkMonitor and served in senior sales and marketing roles at Netscape, Oracle and Sybase.
"Our recent funding has enabled us to expand our leadership team with several strategic hires," said Jay Madsen, chief executive officer at Lecorpio.

We are fortunate to have such an experienced leader on board as we grow in 2014 and beyond."
"IP-focused organizations everywhere are at the crossroads of service and technology," added Wedel.
