Former Macrovision CEO Bill Krepick to Help Anti-Tamper Software Company
Position Itself for Next Phase of Growth
SAN JOSE, Calif., May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Metaforic, a leading provider of
anti-tamper solutions, today announced that Bill Krepick, former CEO of
Macrovision Corporation, will take on the role of Chairman of the Board of the
Metaforic Board of Directors. Krepick is a widely respected and deeply
experienced technology executive who brings extensive software security market
knowledge to Metaforic. Krepick, who currently serves as a board member on the
Company's advisory board, will assume the position of chairman of the board
immediately.
"Bill will be invaluable to us as we head into our next phase of rapid
growth," said Andrew McLennan, CEO, Metaforic. "Bill brings a wealth of real
world security market expertise to us that will enable us to scale our company
as we deliver solutions that exceed customer expectations. Metaforic's
flagship product is designed to thwart tampering, hacking, and piracy of third
party software, games, and embedded systems."
"Metaforic is one of the most exciting companies I've looked at in the last
few years," said Bill Krepick. "They're off to a fast start in their market
and their MetaFortress(TM) product solves one of the most pervasive and
serious problems facing the games and software industries today. Having served
on their advisory board, I'm very familiar with their technology and approach
to the anti-tamper problem. As chairman of the board of directors, I look
forward to working closely with Andrew, his team, and the investors during
this next phase of the company's growth."
Mr. Krepick retired from Macrovision Corporation as its CEO in 2005 after
leading the company from a small single technology private company through its
IPO in 1997 and transforming Macrovision through internal growth and
acquisitions to achieve annual revenues over $200 million and a market cap of
over $1 billion. Under his leadership Macrovision evolved from exclusively a
content protection company to a broader software value management and digital
entertainment enabling company.
Krepick holds an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering from
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where he graduated with a BSME (Pi Tau Sigma
honors) and an MBA from Stanford University Graduate School of Business.
