Will Sheward’s Summary

I've spent nearly 20 years working in the IT industry in Sales and Marketing dealing with high-level multi-million pound contracts and low-cost consumer products. I've successfully launched products in both niche and consumer markets, designed and implemented customer relationship management strategies and advised on traditional and new media promotional programs.

For the last five years I've been with Isode Limited, a UK software house specializing in Directory (LDAP/X.500) and Messaging (X.400, XMPP, IMAP/POP/SMTP) server software.

Will Sheward’s Experience

• VP Marketing

  Isode Ltd

  (Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Computer Software industry)

  July 2003 — Present (5 years 4 months)

  We're a UK software company specializing in messaging and directory server software.
  
  Selling mostly through partners who incorporate our products into their solutions, we've experienced rapid growth in the last few years due partly to our success in the Military (X.400 messaging), Aviation (X.400 messaging), Government and Intelligence (directories), EDI (X.400 messaging) and ISP (Internet messaging) marketplaces.
  
  As a company we're heavily into Open Standards and are active in the IETF and XMPP Standards Foundation (XSF).
  
  - LDAP/X.500 Directories
  - X.400 Message switch and store
  - IMAP/POP and SMTP Messaging servers
  - XMPP Instant Messaging server
  
  We're a very technical product company, with a large majority of our employees being software engineers, making me part of a small minority of persecuted 'commercials' !
