ATLANTA — February 26, 2004 —Manhattan Associates®, Inc. (Nasdaq: MANH), the global leader in providing supply chain execution (SCE) solutions, today announced that it has appointed Pete Sinisgalli to the post of President and COO, effective April 12, 2004. On that date, Richard Haddrill, currently president and CEO, will vacate the President position. Mr. Sinisgalli’s appointment is part of an executive succession plan that calls for Mr. Sinisgalli to assume the position of President and CEO on July 1, 2004, at which time Mr. Haddrill will assume the position of Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors.
“Pete Sinisgalli is an outstanding leader with a proven track record who shares our vision for the future and fits perfectly with the culture and values that have been instrumental in our success,” said Richard Haddrill, president and CEO at Manhattan Associates. “The company is in the strongest position that it has ever been in, making this the right time to augment our outstanding executive management team and hand over the stewardship of Manhattan Associates to someone who we think is the right person to drive it to the long-term goals that we have set.”
Mr. Sinisgalli joins Manhattan Associates from privately held third-party fulfillment provider NewRoads Inc., where he was president and CEO. In that capacity, Mr. Sinisgalli was charged with building a dominant market leader by driving significant improvements in innovation, quality and efficiency. Before NewRoads, Mr. Sinisgalli was president and COO of publicly listed CheckFree Corporation, where he oversaw tremendous revenue and profit growth while successfully integrating several acquisitions.
