Consul Appoints Todd Fredrick Vice President of Sales.

HERNDON, Virg. -- Veteran sales executive to grow direct sales organization and channel partnerships

Consul risk management, the authority in security audit and compliance, today announced the appointment of Todd Fredrick as vice president of sales for the Americas. In this position, Fredrick will apply his extensive experience in sales, channel management and marketing to oversee the company's sales team.

"Todd's history of aggressively driving sales and establishing key customer and partner alliances will be instrumental for Consul as we enter our 21st year," said Joseph Sander, president and CEO of Consul. "His innovative marketing programs, along with his experience in Web-based selling and marketing techniques, have generated significant sales revenues. Todd will add tremendous depth and energy to our management team as we continue to develop our growing marketing and channel partnerships."

Fredrick has more than 15 years of selling experience. As principal and senior vice president of sales and marketing at W. Quinn Associates, he realized the potential of the Windows NT/2000 server market and found a niche to manage user behavior on all Windows-facing storage. Under Fredrick's sales direction W. Quinn's StorageCentral, a Windows-based Storage Resource Management (SRM) product, became market leader. W. Quinn was acquired by Precise Software in 2001. As Precise-SRM's Senior Vice President, Fredrick oversaw all aspects of the SRM division's worldwide sales and marketing activities including the direct sales force in North America, EMEA, distribution channels and strategic OEM relationships.

In 2003 Precise was acquired by VERITAS Software where Fredrick served as a vice president of sales, focusing on developing Windows sales programs for both channel and enterprise sales. Subsequently, he was appointed to lead the sales integration of VERITAS' $238 million purchase of KVS Software, the leading provider of exchange storage archiving. Fredrick then ran the KVS Sales and SE team in North America overseeing its 100% annual growth rate. VERITAS was acquired by Symantec in June of 2005.

Fredrick holds an M.S. degree in information management from Marymount University and a B.S. degree in marketing from Virginia Tech.

"Risk management is no longer a security or compliance problem, it is a business challenge that reaches the top executives of an organization," said Fredrick. "Consul InSight Suite is intelligently positioned ahead of the curve when it comes to demonstrating to auditors and the boardroom that an organization has proper controls in place over privileged user activities and government regulations, and is effectively managing security risks."
