TECHNOLOGY VERTERAN MARTIN HORNE JOINS EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT TEAM AT IPEAK NETWORKS
Ottawa, ON – February 2, 2009 IPeak Networks Incorporated, the first company to successfully address the real-time online application Quality of Experience challenge, today announced the appointment of Martin Horne to the position of Chief Executive Officer. Horne joins the IPeak Networks executive management team with a mandate to take the company’s IPQ™ (Internet Performance and Quality) Product Suite to the global marketplace.
“The old way of handling data packet loss on the internet is not working and it is actually preventing the next generation of real-time online applications,” Horne says. “IPeak Networks has developed a powerful solution that delivers the smooth video, clear audio, and uninterrupted real-time application performance that consumers are demanding and that service providers and network operators need to grow the business.”
“We have just kicked off the global launch of the IPQ™ Product Suite so the timing is perfect,” said Matthew Williams, founder and CTO of IPeak Networks. “Martin’s expertise and experience are exactly what we need to grow our products and our company to the next level.”
Horne brings more than twenty-five years of technology company management experience to IPeak Networks. He has founded and lead several venture-backed companies to a successful harvest and guided a number of early stage technology companies to their full potential. Martin has been on the IPeak Networks advisory board since 2007.
