REDWOOD CITY, Calif., August 5, 2002 - Informatica Corporation (NASDAQ: INFA) announced today that Clive Harrison, former executive vice president of worldwide field operations for Informatica, has returned to lead field operations for the Company. He will replace Kyle Bowker, who is stepping down for personal reasons. Harrison will report directly to Gaurav Dhillon, president and CEO, and will be a member of the Company's executive management team.
“It is a pleasure to welcome Clive back to Informatica,” said Dhillon. “Clive's charismatic leadership and boundless energy were instrumental in building and growing Informatica's sales organization from our early days. He brings the right sales skills required for continued success.”
“We appreciate Kyle's contributions over the past year and wish him well,” continued Dhillon. “Going forward, we are fortunate that the timing allows us to once again benefit from Clive's deep knowledge of our industry, his familiarity with our technology and the value our solutions bring to the market.”
