Jim Glueck, Former Cisco VP, Named COO of Silicon Valley Technology Firm
IT service company Milestone Technologies Inc. named Jim Glueck chief operating officer.
Fremont, CA, September 09, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Prem Chand, CEO and Founder of Milestone Technologies, Inc. (MILESTONE), one of Silicon Valley’s most successful IT service companies, has named Mr. Jim Glueck as its Chief Operating Officer.
“We are very pleased to announce the addition of Jim Glueck to our Senior Executive Team,” Mr. Chand said during a recent Global All-Hands WebEx meeting of the company’s worldwide employees.
“Jim’s leadership abilities, visionary ideas and career accomplishments are very important elements for MILESTONE’s continued growth and position within our markets.”
Jim Glueck leads business operations at MILESTONE. His responsibilities include the design and integration of strategic initiatives that will help guide the company’s strong continuing growth.
Initiatives include leading MILESTONE’s technology-focused business planning; leveraging MILESTONE’s growth opportunities with clients and business partners; guiding MILESTONE’s technical service delivery best practices and applying client-support performance metrics, market analysis and alignment.
“Jim will touch all departments at MILESTONE,” continues Chand. “He will serve on our executive management committee and will regularly interface with our Sales, Marketing, Finance and Technology teams. While working holistically with the entire company, Jim’s main area of concentration will be with our Service Delivery team. This is our business unit that is interfacing with clients every day.”
“As COO, Jim will ensure that MILESTONE has the right people, processes and technologies in place to deliver consistent and high-quality IT services to our clients.”
MILESTONE offers Silicon Valley-headquartered firms, such as Franklin-Templeton, SanDisk and The GAP, among many others, a unique set of high-value services. Unlike traditional IT service providers, MILESTONE provides their clients with lifecycle IT support from engineering assessments and planning to deployments (like Window 7) and the design and integration of new solutions (like Unified Communications and Macs at work alongside PCs).
MILESTONE has strategic affiliations and senior engineering certifications with many top suppliers, such as Microsoft, Apple and Cisco Systems. MILESTONE’s business mission is to remain on the leading edge of technical advancements and bring these advancements quickly into the client operating environment.
Six years prior to joining MILESTONE, Jim Glueck served as a senior management executive and most recently as Vice President of Global Support Operations for San Jose-based communications infrastructure giant, Cisco Systems. At Cisco, Jim Glueck led several advanced technology support programs, designed to re-engineer the technical services delivery process. His work at Cisco has helped them to build-out an effective organization with a governance model, which has enabled growth and improved Cisco market presence and customer satisfaction, worldwide. MILESTONE has engaged Glueck in an analysis of its own service delivery practices.
Cisco Systems and MILESTONE have an important strategic alliance. MILESTONE is a Premier Certified Cisco Partner, with several specialized engineering certifications. Jim will enhance the relationship with this important MILESTONE partner.
Before Cisco, Jim Glueck was the Chief Executive Officer and President of a privately held call center solution company, located in Santa Clara, California. This experience will prove invaluable, because last year MILESTONE installed their own call center, offering remote chat and web-based IT support for clients from their Fremont, California facilities.
Jim’s career has also included five (5) years with Hitachi Data Systems. As Executive Vice President /General Manager, Glueck was responsible for customer service, three (3) technical assistance centers and for worldwide Professional Service delivery for this multi-billion dollar enterprise.
Jim Glueck has had similar leadership positions with other large enterprise firms (Amdahl and IBM) and a few start-up companies during his 25-year career in technology. His unique experience leading small, mid-sized and large organizations is of high value to MILESTONE, who itself is growing.
