Mark Cosway Brings Expertise in Supply Chain Management

and Business Process Optimization 

C-bridge Internet Solutions, a leading developer of Internet-based business applications and strategies, today announced the appointment of Mark Cosway as Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. In this position, Mr. Cosway is responsible for managing C-bridge's Worldwide Sales Operation and driving the marketing program to support C-bridge's growth objectives.

"The addition of Mark to our executive team is a tremendous asset to C-bridge and will ensure that we continue to experience the explosive growth that has characterized our business over the past six months," said Joe Bellini, President and COO of C-bridge. "As more and more companies view the Internet as a competitive weapon, we'll be looking to Mark to identify opportunities where C-bridge's expertise can help organizations drive business value while making the transition from the physical to the electronic world."

Mark Cosway has more than 18 years experience in entrepreneurial sales and marketing across multiple industry segments. He has spent the past 10 years creating and developing the supply chain planning and optimization market space. Before joining C-bridge, Cosway was Director of Global Accounts for i2 Technologies, Inc., where he was responsible for marketing and selling electronic Business Process Optimization solutions to Global 100 companies. He also helped develop the i2 sales and marketing methodology in the account planning and qualification areas. The business process solutions that Cosway defined for his customers at i2 Technologies typically generated business value 10 times the costs of these projects.

"I believe the value of the Internet solutions developed by C-bridge will be even greater than those in the traditional supply chain realm," says Cosway. "C-bridge has the intellectual capital and the technical expertise not only to help companies reinvent themselves for the electronic world, but to develop effective strategies that enable them to see business value quickly. This is important as time-to-market becomes the critical success factor in today's highly competitive business environment."

Prior to i2, Cosway established central U.S. operations for Enterprise Planning Systems, the first company to bring to market an Advanced Planning System (APS) for manufacturing-centric Global 500 organizations. Cosway was also President and Co-Founder of Synertech, a Canada-based technology start-up company that developed and marketed state-of-art ultrasonic measuring systems.

International Data Corporation, a leading provider of Information Technology data and analysis, last year predicted a four-fold increase in the number of Web users and a 40-fold increase in the number of Web transactions between 1998 and 2002. This explosive growth in Internet use is forcing companies to examine business processes and explore where new market channels can be exploited and efficiency increased.
