Terakeet hires Robert McKelvey as Director of Sales


Syracuse, NY : April 30, 2003 — Terakeet Corporation has announced that it has hired Robert McKelvey as its Director of Sales. He joins Terakeet from another company in the voice software industry, Voxeo Corporation, where he was the top-producing salesman. At Terakeet, Mr. McKelvey will immediately be responsible for building and maintaining customer relationships and channel partnerships. Mac Cummings, Chief Executive Officer of Terakeet, said “Bob brings to the table nearly twenty years of sales experience in both software and telecommunications. He's an excellent fit for our company because he's already a successful voice software salesman and he really understands the industry.” Mr. Cummings added that “in the past twelve months, we've just about doubled our client base. We're seeing rapidly increasing demand for products and services, and we think Bob is the right person to help us expand our pipeline. With Bob McKelvey on board, we can reach more territory and therefore make a wider footprint in the voice software industry.”

Mr. McKelvey has held senior-level enterprise sales positions at both MCI and AT&T. More recently, he was responsible for sales, partnerships, and business development at startups Telocity and Voxeo. As the top salesman at each of those companies, he was instrumental in helping them achieve revenue beyond their growth targets and securing investor funding.

Mr. McKelvey holds a BBA in Marketing from the University of Notre Dame.
