Revionics, end-to-end merchandising software company, announced this week that Joel G. Katz, has their Board of Directors. Katz has 25 years of strong executive financial and investor experience and his proven ability to guide companies through all phases of development including pre and post initial public offering stages.
He has previously led efforts for Witness Systems, Vignette, and Harbinger Corporation.
This comes only a month after the Austin-based company raised a $30M round of series D funding led by Goldman Sachs. These could be part of the twelve-year march toward an IPO since the company's founding in 2002.
“I’m excited to join the Revionics’ Board of Directors during this phase of tremendous growth and success,” said Mr. Katz. “I have been impressed by the strong professionalism, passion and commitment levels of the Revionics team, which I view as foundational to their success. As the company enters into this next phase of growth in its development, I’m looking forward to helping this team evolve to meet the challenges of continued rapid growth and public financial markets. Together, I’m confident we will achieve great success.”
“We welcome Joel to our Board of Directors. His demonstrated proficiency in the financial and investment arena will further strengthen our board’s breadth of expertise,” said Marc Haftner, Revionics CEO. “Joel has already hit the ground running as a board member and we are excited to leverage his strategic business expertise. His financial, operational and board experiences in operating under the scrutiny of public financial markets will help us prepare for our next phase of growth.”
Previously, Katz has held positions of the board Witness Systems and Vignette. He has held the position of Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of Harbinger Corporation and is an investor in a variety of industries including technology, hospitality, and financial services.
