PCTEL Appoints Jeff Miller as Corporate Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing
CHICAGO, Jul 30, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ:PCTI), a global leader in simplifying mobility, announced today that it had appointed Jeff Miller as Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing. Mr. Miller currently handles all business development, licensing, and corporate marketing for the company. In his new role, Mr. Miller will integrate the sales channels associated with PCTEL's three product groups, Mobility Solutions, RF Solutions, and the Maxrad Product Group. His initial focus will be on the regions outside of the North America. In January, North American sales will report to Mr. Miller as well.
Mr. Miller joined PCTEL in November 2001 as part of a broad management team change. At that time, he took on the task of managing the HSP modem development. Later, Mr. Miller ran Product Management and Marketing and was instrumental in implementing the company's strategy of migrating from analog modems to its current wireless activities. Recently, he helped the company consummate important licensing agreements with Broadcom and Intel.
Prior to joining PCTEL, Mr. Miller held various positions at Motorola, SAFCO Technologies, and Agilent Technologies. He also ran his own business for five years, consulting to various cellular operators and infrastructure vendors worldwide. Mr. Miller, along with Biju Nair, John Schoen, and Marty Singer, have all worked together as a team since 1998.
"It is great to have the bench strength in our company that makes someone of Jeff's capabilities available to take on this task," said Marty Singer, PCTEL's Chairman and CEO. "Jeff has a strong understanding of all of our technologies and products, a history of spending time with customers, and a solid relationship with all of the leaders in our company. I'm confident that he will do a great job," added Singer.
"We have strong team here at PCTEL and I'm confident that with the support of the organization I can bring out the best of each of the channels I am tasked with integrating," said Jeff Miller. "I've been involved with each of the product lines through our development and acquisition activities and that provides me with insights that will be valuable going forward in this new role at PCTEL," commented Miller.
Larry Sakayama, also a member of the earlier SAFCO Technologies team, will take on the business development functions previously handled by Mr. Miller. The licensing activities will report directly to Marty Singer, who has been active in that area throughout the company's history.
