Quickoffice, Inc., the leading global provider of mobile office
productivity software and services, today announced the appointment of
co-founder Alan Masarek to chief executive officer. Masarek will be
responsible for leading Quickoffice's expanded vision of a mobile
office.
Quickoffice, already the world leader in providing mobile office
document software for smartphones, is expanding its vision to deliver
the next generation of mobile office solutions. Through the company's
upcoming introduction of server-based solutions, on-the-go
professionals will be able to access content from their mobile phones
wherever that content exists, across a range of formats. Users will be
able to remotely access data residing on their personal computer, as
well as content that is embedded in mobile email attachments or stored
locally on their mobile devices. With ubiquitous access to one's
content and superior viewing and editing technology, Quickoffice users
will be able to view, edit, print, fax, share and send content from
their mobile devices.
"I'm excited to move into this role during this important next
stage of Quickoffice's growth as I believe the company is ideally
positioned to capitalize on the rapidly expanding mobile market
opportunities," said Alan Masarek. "By combining our technology,
mobile client expertise and new partner technologies, we can uniquely
provide users with anywhere, anytime content access from their mobile
device."
Masarek most recently served as president and chief financial
officer for Quickoffice, the fourth technology-based company he has
helmed. Masarek has scaled businesses from start-up through IPO,
completing multiple rounds of VC financing and facilitating many
company acquisitions.
"Alan was an ideal choice, as he has years of management and
mobile software experience both within Quickoffice and in the
industry," said Janice Roberts, managing partner, Mayfield Fund. "As
CEO, his vision and proven track record of providing guidance to
senior level executives and his unwavering dedication will be
invaluable to our management team."
Masarek received his bachelor's degree in business administration
from the University of Georgia and his MBA from Harvard Business
School. Masarek replaces Barry Cottle, who remains on Quickoffice's
board of directors.
