J2EE Management Veteran Joins ClearApp Executive Team

ClearApp, the leading provider of model-driven performance management solutions for portal, J2EE and SOA applications, today announced that it has appointed J2EE management veteran Chris Farrell to vice president of marketing. With more than 17 years of experience in high tech product development and marketing, Mr. Farrell will play a key role in propelling ClearApp’s customer momentum and overall market penetration within the high-growth segment for composite application management and performance.

"Chris Farrell’s strategic marketing, product development, positioning skills, and leadership will help ClearApp continue the growth of our customer base in the US and abroad," said Jason Donahue, president and CEO of ClearApp, Inc. "He has a proven track record in aligning infrastructure management products to meet customer needs and will be an invaluable addition to our team. His appointment comes at a pivotal time for ClearApp as we continue to roll out a number of new products for managing complex SOA, portal and J2EE applications."

Mr. Farrell will be responsible for the company’s overall strategic, channel, product, and corporate marketing functions. He will report to ClearApp president and CEO Jason Donahue. Farrell joins ClearApp from Computer Associates’ Wily Technology Division, where he helped grow Wily Technology, a J2EE management company, over a six-year period from start-up stage through its acquisition by Computer Associates last year for $397 million. At Wily, Mr. Farrell headed several marketing organizations, most recently the Technical Marketing team.

"I am thrilled to be joining ClearApp at this pivotal time," Farrell said. "With the only model-based performance management solution, the company’s fully automated solutions help today’s IT shops get more from their J2EE management and infrastructure investments. And as more complex portal and SOA applications become the norm, the model-based approach has vast potential to dramatically accelerate the control and visibility its customers have over their mission critical applications."

Mr. Farrell brings almost 20 years of enterprise software marketing and technology expertise to ClearApp. His previous senior marketing and product management positions at Wily Technology, Ericsson, and IBM include a broad range of experience spanning the development, launching, re-branding, and marketing of two-dozen application management and other technology products. Mr. Farrell earned a BSE in Electrical Engineering and a Master of Business Administration from Duke University.
