Systems Appoints David P. Kerford Vice President of Sales and
Marketing
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--June 17, 2002--McCamish Systems is pleased to announce
that David P. Kerford has been appointed Vice President of Sales
and Marketing effective today. Mr. Kerford has responsibility
for Sales and Marketing and to strategically develop and position
the company.
"McCamish
Systems has been very deliberate and conservative as we have developed
our business," said J. Gordon Beckham, Jr., President and
CEO of McCamish. "Our primary objective to date has been
to build the requisite foundation that enables us to deliver superior
service to our clients. By design, we have never had a seasoned
professional leading our sales and marketing efforts, yet we are
doing business with six of the largest ten life insurers in the
country, among other marquee carriers. Given our success to date
without a sales executive, I can't say how excited we are to have
a person like Dave Kerford on board to help McCamish move to the
next level. With his commitment to building long-term relationships
in lieu of short-term deals, he fits our culture beautifully."
"I
am very excited about joining McCamish Systems. I have been impressed
with both the employees' deep industry experience as well as the
leadership of the company. The fact that every client is willing
to serve as a reference for McCamish is testimony to the quality
of its products and services," said Dave Kerford. "The
ethical standard to which McCamish adheres is the foundation of
that level of quality and service, and I am thrilled to have the
opportunity to serve McCamish Systems."
Mr.
Kerford joins McCamish Systems after 20 plus years of experience
in insurance. Of particular note, Mr. Kerford served as Senior
Vice President of Cybertek and as Chief Operating Officer of the
Leverage Group, formerly PMSC companies that have since been acquired
by CSC. He led Cybertek's acquisition due diligence team and managed
full business operations, including sales, professional services,
product development, human resources and office management.
Mr.
Kerford is a native of South Carolina and is a graduate of Clemson
University. He has been active in several civic and community
organizations such as Bear Valley Community Church and the Grapevine/Colleyville
Independent School District in Texas.
