 
LUCID8’S GROWTH ACCELERATES AS IT BRINGS IN NEW VP OF MARKETING
Former Microsoft manager joins Lucid8 to guide product and marketing strategy and execution for its eDiscovery & Recovery tools for Microsoft Exchange
BELLEVUE, Wash., December 11, 2007 - Lucid8 LLC, the company that provides products that increase reliability, improve efficiency, and provide eDiscovery and recoverability services for Microsoft® Exchange Server databases, announced today that Christian Stark has joined its ranks as Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. Stark comes to Lucid8 from Microsoft, where he amassed more than 15 years of experience in product design, development, marketing and business strategy. In this newly-created position of VP of Marketing and Business Development, Stark will drive marketing strategy development, execution and business development efforts for all of Lucid8’s products as the company continues on its growth path.
“We’re thrilled to have Christian Stark join our team to help drive our marketing and business development efforts toward becoming the leader in making the communication medium on which we rely most heavily—email—protected, reliable and resource-efficient though optimization, as well as eDiscovery and Recovery ,” said Troy Werelius, CEO of Lucid8. “Stark’s broad experience— from identifying new business and product opportunities to actually creating and designing new products and finally to bringing them successfully to market—will be invaluable to us as we take Lucid8 to the next level. His demonstrated customer-focus will extend Lucid8’s user and market awareness as we work to further establish our brand and expand our markets.”
Prior to joining Lucid8, Stark held senior-level positions in Microsoft Corporation’s Product Management, Program Management and Product Planning departments. Stark’s leadership benefited key product lines, including Microsoft Office, Microsoft Project, Microsoft Word, Microsoft InfoPath and Microsoft SharePoint Server, for which he managed elements of product strategy, design and marketing that ranged from designing the user interface for Microsoft InfoPath to developing the People-Ready Process Product and Business strategy for Microsoft SharePoint Server.
“Having spent 15 amazing years working with some of the smartest people on the globe at one of the most successful companies in the world, I’m excited to be able to bring some of what I’ve learned to Lucid8,” said Christian Stark, Lucid8’s new VP of Marketing and Business Development. “My decision came largely on the reputation of Lucid8—the company’s solid business is built upon great technology and products that fill a huge need in the Microsoft Exchange user business community. And, most importantly, there’s a precedent here for what I think is critical to the success of any business: keeping user needs in focus. I look forward to working with the high-caliber people here at Lucid8 as we move the company to the next level together.”
Lucid8’s great success to date has been largely due to its ability to see opportunities for clear-benefit add-ons to widely-used mission-critical business software products and build products that closely integrate with and extend their functionality to build comprehensive, reliable applications environments. Stark will lead the company’s marketing and business development efforts following that pattern for success in 2008 and beyond, to ensure development and roll-out of new products and enhancements to existing products based upon direct user and reseller feedback on real-world needs as the company enters its next phase of growth.
