Goodwin, who was appointed chairman of the board of directors for Fortiva in 2003, is coming out of his retirement to take on this position. Fortiva says Goodwin brings more than 40 years of software development, management and leadership experience to Fortiva. As CEO, he will be responsible for the overall strategic direction and management of the company, with a focus on furthering Fortiva's growth.
"Two key things influenced my decision to come out of retirement to lead Fortiva, the strength and experience of the management team and my strong belief that on-demand services are on the verge of fundamentally changing the way businesses acquire and deploy software," says Goodwin. "Fortiva represents a prime example of how software-as-a-service can help businesses to deploy solutions faster, cheaper, with fewer risks and immediate benefits. I am looking forward to building on Fortiva's recent successes by continuing to expand our customer base and secure strategic partnerships."
Prior to joining Fortiva, Goodwin was CEO of Klocwork. Before then, Goodwin served as CEO of FloNetwork from July 1999 to July 2001 when it was sold to DoubleClick.
