Newmarket International Names Russell H. Boekenkroeger Vice President of Development
Hospitality E-Business leader sees Boekenkroeger's expertise in advanced development as major strength in extending company's Internet solutions
8 August 2000

Newmarket International, Inc. announced today the appointment of Russell H. Boekenkroeger to the newly created position of Vice President of Development. Boekenkroeger will direct all of Newmarket's development teams, with a special emphasis on the rapid deployment of the next phase of the company's Web-enabled automation solutions. Boekenkroeger reports to Newmarket President & CEO Steve Giblin.

Boekenkroeger comes to Newmarket from PTC (Parametric Technology Corporation, Waltham, Mass.) where he served as Senior Vice President of Research & Development. Boekenkroeger reengineered development operations at over 20 PTC sites by implementing the use of common architectures and processes. Boekenkroeger arrived at PTC by way of a 1998 acquisition of Computervision Corporation, where he had spent 17 years, serving in various executive positions including VP of Product Development.

Steve Giblin feels Boekenkroeger's experience will enable Newmarket to achieve its rigorous goals for delivering the next phase of its enterprise and ASP products by the fourth quarter of 2000. Newmarket unveiled its Internet service in March and netDelphi, its comprehensive ASP offering, in June.

"Newmarket has tremendous domain knowledge of the hotel and destination industries," Giblin said. "Russ augments this with over 25 years of development experience. His specific knowledge of Internet technologies and iterative development adds leadership to our already strong Web development teams, and ensures our products will meet and even anticipate customer needs for new applications and services delivered via the Web. Russ understands global business; he understands technology challenges, and he understands the Internet."

Boekenkroeger looks forward to the challenge of extending Newmarket's product line to meet the present and future needs of Newmarket's worldwide base of 100,000 users.

"Two things made the Newmarket challenge especially appealing," said Boekenkroeger. "First, hospitality is an exciting industry with lots of potential, and in a big market, one likes to be with the industry leader. Second, Newmarket enjoys a strong user base and a worldwide community of happy customers. Continuing to adapt Newmarket's vast knowledge base into the timely delivery of leading-edge Internet products is a major goal that will benefit our customers and the industry."
