Jacada
Names Thomas H. Clear as Chief Executive Officer and Robert C. Aldworth
as Chief Financial Officer
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 16, 2009--Jacada Ltd. (Nasdaq: JCDA), a
leading provider of unified desktop and process optimization solutions
for customer service operations, today announced that its Chief
Executive Officer, Paul O'Callaghan, has resigned and will leave Jacada
effective April 20, 2009, citing personal reasons.
Mr. O’Callaghan will be succeeded by Thomas H. Clear, who will be
appointed CEO of the company effective April 20, 2009. Mr. Clear brings
more than 25 years of global experience in leading successful,
multi-national and new business development initiatives, and delivering
operational excellence and long-term value to customers. Most recently,
Mr. Clear served as President and Chief Commercial Officer at Spinvox
Inc., which was successfully launched in 2007 as the first provider of
voicemail-to-text service for global carriers. Prior to that, from 1998
to 2006, Mr. Clear served as a General Manager at Amdocs (NYSE: DOX)
where he focused on building license and services revenue from several
strategic accounts in support of the company’s billing and customer
relationship management lines of business. Mr. Clear’s prior background
includes senior management positions at SBC and Convergys, as well as
several other product development and business growth management
positions.
“We are excited that Tom has agreed to join us,” said Gideon Hollander,
chairman of the board of directors for Jacada. “Tom brings to Jacada
vast experience, talent and skills in business leadership, and
management of marketing, sales and operations. Such leadership
experience will be quite valuable as we further develop our strategy and
work to successfully execute within our business.”
“I am excited to be given the opportunity to join the Jacada team.
Jacada is a leading company in its markets, and I look forward
to building on the company's growth and delivering long term success,”
said Tom Clear.
Separately, and unrelated to the departure of Mr. O’Callaghan, after
nearly 14 years with Jacada, Tzvia Broida, the current CFO for Jacada,
has decided to leave the company to spend more time with family. Bob
Aldworth will become CFO for Jacada effective April 20, 2009. Bob
previously served as the CFO for Jacada from 2001 to 2005. Since 2005,
Bob held the position of SVP of Finance at Infor Global Solutions, a
provider of enterprise applications software and services. Bob has
extensive experience in finance, operations and investor relations.
Mr. Clear and Mr. Aldworth will both be located in the North American
headquarters offices in Atlanta, Georgia.
“Bob had a very positive impact on Jacada during his prior tenure as
CFO,” concluded Hollander. “I am confident that his skills will once
again serve the company in our efforts to continue executing our
strategic plan. His familiarity with the company and its operations will
facilitate the transition. We are grateful to both Paul and Tzvia for
their leadership and significant contributions to Jacada. Since joining
our team they have each played an important role in our growth and they
leave us well prepared for the future. We send our best wishes to them
for their future endeavors.”
