Company Appoints Mike Donnell CEO
Broomfield, CO, September 30, 2010 – eSoft today announced it has received an investment of an undisclosed amount to reach a broader market with its award-winning Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliances. The company will use the investment for channel programs, marketing and promotions, and product development and engineering. eSoft has also appointed Mike Donnell as its chief executive officer.
“eSoft is receiving this investment, due to its credibility and track record, so that it may expand its reach, offer more diverse channel, marketing and promotion programs, and focus on further development,” said Donnell. “I’m thrilled to be joining such a talented team. The UTM products have been well received by the channel and customers, and reviews have been glowing. It’s exciting to think of the possibilities going forward.”
eSoft has also spun off the wholesale SiteFilter business, which provides OEM licensing partnerships, to zvelo, Inc. Donnell replaces Jeff Finn, who is now CEO of zvelo, Inc. eSoft is headquartered at the original Broomfield, Colorado location, with no changes to the eSoft UTM employees.
With 20 years of experience leading public and private companies to record growth and profitability, Donnell’s successes include sustaining more than 50% revenue growth at three of the companies he led, and leading two companies that had been unprofitable for more than 10 years to profitability within three months. He has held president and CEO positions with Sutus, New Global Telecom, Zi Corporation, and Cellular One (CMT Partners). Donnell led Cellular One, as CEO, to industry record levels of combined growth and profitability.
