Intercede Appoints Vice President
of Sales for North America to Strengthen US Market Presence
Intercede, the leading smart card
and identity management software company, is pleased to announce
the appointment of Lynn M. Rice as Vice President of Sales for the
North American region. Lynn was previously responsible for business
development of US Government and Identity solutions at Oberthur
Card Systems. She brings to Intercede more than 20 years sales experience
in the US Federal as well as State and Local Government markets.
More recently, Lynn played a key role in positioning Oberthur as
the premier provider of Personal Identification Verification (PIV)
smart card sales to US Federal Agencies under the Homeland Security
Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) program.
Intercede Chief Executive, Richard Parris, said
"Following our early successes selling Intercede's MyID smart
card and identity credential management system to US Federal Government,
I am delighted that Intercede has secured the services of such a
high caliber sales professional to spearhead our North American
expansion. Lynn's expertise will enable Intercede to better manage
and grow our existing distribution channels while stimulating additional
demand from end-user customers."
"I am eager to provide Intercede with the same measure of
focus that enabled me to secure significant Federal Government smart
card orders for Oberthur. I believe my knowledge of the US Federal,
State and Local markets in support of the already extremely talented
team at Intercede, will be a winning combination " said Lynn.
"Intercede's MyID smart card and identity credential management
system is already established as the leading product in its class
and I am excited at the prospect of being able to build on this
reputation to drive Intercede's exploitation of the fast growing
US market."
