Statement from Extreme Networks CEO Chuck Berger
Extreme Networks President and CEO Chuck Berger said that, “Revenues of the combined Company grew three percent on a pro forma basis when compared to the prior year, with growth across all four sales regions.”
Berger added that their integration efforts related to the Enterasys acquisition are ahead of plan, and the process of combining both their ERP systems onto a single platform is scheduled to be achieved in the first fiscal quarter of 2015, and that will enable them to operate as a single Company and produce more cost synergies.
On a related note, Extreme Networks announced that its COO Chris Crowell, formerly CEO and president of Enterasys before its acquisition by Extreme Networks, is leaving the Company, effective immediately. After the acquisition, Cromwell led Extreme Networks’ worldwide sales and marketing organization.
Berger noted that “Chris has been an invaluable part of the team that brought Extreme and Enterasys together since the acquisition.”
