AccuRev Strengthens Senior Management Team and Further Expands Sales for Continued Growth
Lexington, MA, November 22, 2007 --(PR.com)-- AccuRev Inc. today announced its 23rd consecutive growth quarter and subsequently the expansion of its senior management team. Stephen Leahy has joined AccuRev as Vice President of Worldwide Sales, reporting to the CEO.

Leahy joins AccuRev with more than 25 years of experience in enterprise software sales and sales management. Mr. Leahy also has direct experience with SCM through several years as Director at Pure Atria prior to its acquisition by Rational Software.

His focus on sales and marketing alignment to drive revenue growth will further benefit AccuRev as we continue to expand US and European sales operations.
