Industry Veteran Joins the Leader in End-User Experience Management

NEW YORK– Knoa, a leading provider of end-user experience and performance management software, today announced a senior-level executive appointment, adding significant strength to the company’s management team as it continues on its aggressive growth trajectory. Software industry veteran Jerry Dolinsky joins the Knoa executive team in the newly created role of executive vice president of Field Operations. This appointment is the result of an extensive executive search effort, conducted by the Barlow Group who reviewed dozens of senior industry sales executives to find the perfect candidate to drive the next stage of Knoa’s growth.

Jerry Dolinsky brings more than 20 years of sales and business development experience to Knoa. In the role of EVP Worldwide Field Operations, Dolinsky assumes responsibility for all business development activities, including channel sales, direct sales and strategic alliances. He will be directing Knoa’s field operations team to drive additional market penetration for Knoa, as well as expanding alliances with existing partners, such as SAP and Oracle. Prior to Knoa, Dolinsky served as senior vice president of Worldwide Field Operations for Retek Inc., a leading retail industry solutions provider. For more than six years Dolinsky helped Retek gain number one market position and grow annual revenues from $20 million to $190 million. During this period the company executed a successful initial public offering and was subsequently acquired by Oracle for $670 million.
