Tatara Systems' Marc Cremer Named Finalist for 2010 MassTLC Emerging Executive of the Year Award

In its 13^th year, the 2010 Mass Technology Leadership Council's (MassTLC) Awards program spotlights companies, people, and technologies that exemplify the best and the brightest in the Massachusetts innovative technology community. The awards are the first and only awards to equally recognize outstanding achievement in the development and implementation of technology. The 2010 Emerging Executive of the Year Award category recognizes "rising star" executives in the past year. Award winners will be announced at the 2010 MassTLC Awards Gala to be held on Wednesday, November 03, 2010 at the Seaport Hotel in Boston, MA.

"We'd like to congratulate Marc for being named a finalist in this year's awards program," said Tom Hopcroft, president & CEO of the Mass Technology Leadership Council. "We received more nominations than ever so this year's finalists are truly the creme of the crop when it comes to driving innovation and growth in our sector."

As a proven executive with over 19 years experience across the telecommunication solutions value chain, Cremer is responsible for Tatara's Sales, Marketing, Product Management and Operations organizations. An accomplished industry executive, Cremer rejoined Tatara in 2008 from Airvana where he served as vice president of EMEA and channel sales. Prior to Airvana, as the vice president of sales for Tatara he was responsible for developing and implementing Tatara's global sales strategy for the company's first generation of Mobile Broadband products, a product line which Tatara later sold to Smith Micro Software in October of 2008. Previously, Cremer held positions as the vice president of sales for PCTEL's Mobility Solutions Group and director of worldwide sales for Motorola Semiconductor's Networking and Computing Systems Group. Earlier in his career, he held a variety of positions within Motorola's Software Products Division, Catalyst Semiconductor, Xicor, and Raytheon. Cremer holds a B.S.E.E. from Northeastern University.

"This is great news that the Mass Technology Leadership Council have chosen Marc as a finalist for this prestigious recognition," stated E.Y. Snowden, president and chief executive officer for Tatara Systems. "It is fitting to see that his successful efforts which have helped to make Tatara the leader in SIP-based femtocell integration, including our national launch on a Tier 1 carrier network last month, are also gaining him the personal recognition that he deserves."
