DANBURY, CT – Tuesday, March 3, 2009 – Kenosia,
Inc., a leading provider of data analytics solutions for the
consumer product goods market, today announced the appointment
of Ron Bienvenu as president and chief executive officer and
two executives; Michael McCarthy as senior vice president of
sales, and Lauren Maschio as senior vice president of marketing.
In addition, Glenn Geho has been named chief operating officer
and head of product development for the firm.
For over 20 years, Mr. Bienvenu has been building and leading
high-growth software companies as they accelerate their sales
and go-to-market strategies. Prior to Kenosia, he founded and
served as president and chief executive officer of SageMaker,
Inc. Under his guidance, SageMaker developed, sold and supported
mission critical content management solutions to a global customer
base including Royal Dutch/Shell, ExxonMobil, BP, McGraw Hill,
GE, Caterpillar, Siemens AG and many more. While at SageMaker
he raised more than $33 million in venture capital funding and
acquired several technology companies in the U.S. and Europe.
SageMaker was sold to divine, Inc. in early 2001 where Mr. Bienvenu
served as president of that company’s software division
before resigning in 2002 to found ISIS Capital Management, LLC.
He currently serves as managing partner of ISIS as well as Halo
Technology Holdings, Inc. Mr. Bienvenu's previous industry experience
includes the founding of a successful electronic publishing company
and sale to a major publisher in 1991. During his career he has
received numerous awards including a finalist in Ernst & Young’s
Entrepreneur of the Year and being named one of the most influential
technology chief executive officer’s by Knowledge Management
magazine
“Market analytics, and in particular the advent of real-time
demand management technologies promises to be the next wave of
technology that fundamentally transforms nearly every aspect
of the economy. Kenosia’s DataAlchemy market analytics
platform is ideally suited to serve as a foundation for that
transformation,” said Mr. Bienvenu. He said, “Today
marks a new era for Kenosia. Our customers can look forward to
innovative ideas and products that will greatly increase their
profitability and competitiveness over the coming years. Besides
the addition of the new executive team, our customers can expect
additional announcements in the coming weeks relating to the
significant expansion of our technology, sales and support teams.”
Prior to Kenosia, Michael McCarthy served as vice president
of sales and customer support for Process Software. In this role,
Mr. McCarthy was responsible for expanding the customer base
to over 3000 global customers, including global giants such as
Raytheon, U.S. Homeland Security, General Electric, Reuters,
Corning, and more. Furthermore, since 2005 Mr. McCarthy was responsible
for customer support and ensured that the company’s mission
critical applications were available 24/7. Previously, Mr. McCarthy
held several sales leadership positions at Process Software,
NCR Corporation, and Quodata Corporation.
Mr. McCarthy said, “It is one thing to sell a mission
critical application, but if you do not have the expertise and
commitment to support it around the clock, the value is greatly
diminished for the customer. Market analytics is moving from
a nice-to-have to a must-have in the age of mobile devices and
real-time consumer interactions and we believe the ability to
support our customers during these times of great change is one
of our key advantages.
Lauren Maschio brings 20 years of marketing management experience
to Kenosia. Previously, Ms. Maschio headed up marketing at Process
Software where she was responsible for the strategic direction
of nine software product lines and services. Ms. Maschio also

previously served as vice president of consulting and product

experience including positions at GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare
and Acosta Sales & Marketing. “We are focused on providing
customers with superior products and services that allow them
