Since joining Beacon in 2009, Bowman has played a key role in focusing the Company on its core offering, eliminating non-core products and associated costs, and driving the expansion of global operations. He also led the implementation of a cloud-based financial, sales and professional services automation software platform. With Bowman's assumption of the duties of BICSI President last month, he intends to broaden his related industry leadership and corporate consulting experience.
"This is an exciting time for Beacon," stated Jerry Bowman, outgoing President and COO of Beacon. "While many other organizations have adopted a "wait-it-out" approach to our recent economic challenges, Beacon's executives have actively transformed the Company in preparation for the ITS market resurgence that seems to be imminent for Q3 and Q4 of this year. I am more convinced than ever that Beacon has the right business model, the right services, and the right management team to prosper in the ITS market segment."
"Jerry has made important contributions to Beacon over the past two-and-one-half years," stated Bruce Widener, Chairman and CEO of Beacon. "We wish Jerry success in his future endeavors; and look forward to a continued positive relationship with him and BICSI in the years to come."
"We are also confident and excited about Paris' and Mike's abilities to execute and enhance Beacon's strategies," added Mr. Widener. "Since joining Beacon in January 2012, Paris has further solidified relationships with our principal accounts; and has set a solid direction to significantly improve our organic and channel partner sales over the ensuing months. Mike, who started in March 2012, also brings exceptional credibility, energy and discipline to the ITS professional services management side of our business. Together with the rest of our growth-focused leadership team, Beacon's operational capabilities are stronger than ever. We believe the Company is very well-positioned to diversify its global customer base and accelerate its profitable growth."
