Newbury, UK – 9th February 2009, Centrix Software today announced the appointment of Jane Rimmer and Mark Stradling as non-executive directors with immediate effect. Jane and Mark bring a wealth of management and industry experience to Centrix Software both having held senior roles at two of the industry’s largest virtualization companies, Citrix Systems and VMware. Jane and Mark join Centrix Software’s management team in an advisory role as the company scales for growth, broadening its sales capabilities and routes to market.
