Ounce Labs Names Gary Jackson Chief Executive Officer

 Jackson to Drive Continued Global Expansion of Enterprise Security Source

                            Code Analysis Leader



    WALTHAM, Mass., Aug. 6 /EMWNews/ -- Ounce Labs, the industry leader

in enterprise security source code analysis, today announced that Gary

Jackson has been named chief executive officer (CEO). Jackson brings to

Ounce more than 25 years of executive leadership helping early-stage

companies evolve and expand into market leaders.



    "Ounce has built a reputation for reliability, and a trusted presence

in the enterprise security source code analysis market, and today we count

half of the top-20 companies in the world as our customers," said Ounce

Labs Founder and Chief Technology Officer Jack Danahy. "Moving forward, the

company's mission is to repeat this success across a rapidly expanding

market. Gary Jackson is exactly the right CEO to accomplish this mission.

We've always had the best technology for our customers; now we also have

the best leadership for Ounce Labs as we expand."



    Jackson comes to Ounce from Quova, Inc., where he served as chief

operating officer. Quova created the "IP intelligence" category of Internet

infrastructure and Jackson played a key role in growing the company from

inception to profitability. Among his accomplishments, he created

international sales, marketing and customer service teams to serve

thousands of companies in the areas of online fraud prevention, digital

rights management and targeted marketing.



    "Three key elements provide the foundation for a successful company --

superior technology, broad market opportunity and a strong employee base.

Ounce Labs hits on all three fronts, and that is why I chose to lead

Ounce," Jackson said. "In the coming months I will be working with our team

to expand Ounce Labs' global presence so more organizations can avoid data

breaches and compliance violations by eliminating critical vulnerabilities

in software."



    Earlier in his career, Jackson was president of Ozro, a pioneer in

on-line contract negotiation, which has become a standard in enterprise

resource planning (ERP) applications, as well as senior vice president of

Vantive, one of the early leaders in the customer relationship management

(CRM) market.



    "On behalf of Ounce Labs' board of directors and investors, I'm

delighted to welcome Gary Jackson aboard at Ounce Labs," said Tom Bogan,

general partner at Ounce Labs investor Greylock Partners and board member

of Ounce Labs. "We're confident that his tremendous experience and track

record of success will help further establish Ounce Labs as the enterprise

security source code analysis leader."
