Univa Taps Former Tivoli Executive to Lead Sales Organization

New Sales VP Robert Maynard To Direct Global Sales, Accelerate Cloud Computing Growth

Austin, TX, Sept 1, 2009 — Univa UD, a leading provider of software solutions for enabling dynamic IT and cloud computing environments, announced today that it has named Robert Maynard as its new Vice President of Sales for North America and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.

Maynard, an accomplished sales executive with over 20 years of experience in software and services, will lead Univa's sales organization to expand upon the company's already strong revenue growth. A former executive at Tivoli, Marimba and Sun, Maynard brings a wide range of experience in management software relevant to systems, services, storage, information and configuration.

"Bob’s level of knowledge and experience will be invaluable as Univa enters our most aggressive stage of growth," observes Jason Liu, chief executive officer of Univa. "With his background from Tivoli in particular, he brings an understanding of enterprise infrastructure and systems management that will further strengthen our trajectory into cloud services and management."

"With our heritage and proven offerings, Univa is uniquely positioned to take the lead in the cloud management space, and I’m excited to be a part of that," said Maynard. "The opportunity is huge for Univa to grow our revenues through a range of channels – it’s nice to be in a position where customers, prospects and partners are coming to us for solutions."

At IBM Tivoli, Maynard was vice president of North American sales where he was responsible for all of IBM's systems management software and delivered on his commitment to successfully integrate four different sales organizations and their respective processes into the Tivoli sales team.

Maynard also led worldwide sales for Marimba, a leading IT asset management and configuration management company eventually acquired by BMC Software. At Marimba, Maynard drove sales and revenue execution to reach their profitability goal after four quarters from IPO. Maynard’s Marimba sales team consistently overachieved their sales goals on a quarterly basis.

Maynard has also served on the executive team at Sun Microsystems where he was vice president of its Global Identity Management practice. Under his leadership, the group achieved 115% year over year growth and attained the leadership position in the identity management category according to Gartner. Maynard’s guidance also helped ensure that Sun’s acquisition of Waveset Technologies was highly successful.
