CAMARILLO, Calif., July 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Stephen A. Diehl has been named
President and CEO of Surfware, Inc., developer of SURFCAM(R) CAD/CAM systems.
"I am proud and happy to announce that my eldest son Stephen will take
over as Surfware President and CEO of the company," says Alan Diehl, founder
and former CEO of Surfware. "Stephen has been working with me behind the
scenes for several years and more recently, full time at Surfware."
Stephen has more than thirty years of experience in information
technology. His experience includes the development of real-time trading
systems for stocks, bonds and swaps for Fortune 500 companies, quantitative
analysis, pattern recognition, physics and other high-end math/computer
science-related applications. Through a solid program of seminars and real
life experience, Stephen has extensive training in business management and
presentation delivery (1991-2001, New York City). Over the last three years,
he has been very involved in the next generation of CAM technology, TrueMill,
the patent pending software offered by Surfware. Through an understanding of
the physics of metal cutting, Stephen has made significant improvements to the
product, further increasing its productivity. Stephen held the positions of
Software Development Manager and Vice President of R&D at Surfware prior to
becoming its President and CEO. He graduated from the University of
California at San Diego with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physics (1982).
"I am proud to have the opportunity to take TrueMill(R) to the next
level," says Stephen. "Over the past few months, our technical team has not
only resolved outstanding issues in the software but also discovered new and
exciting ways to utilize the TrueMill technology. We are announcing a new
release of Surfware's Velocity(R) 4 at the 2008 IMTS (International
Manufacturing Technology Show) in Chicago, where we will demonstrate beyond
doubt that while others claim to have the full benefits of TrueMill, only
Surfware can deliver them."
Velocity 4 will include substantial improvements to 3 axis finishing, 4/5
axis machining and to the patent pending TrueMill technology. The company has
invested heavily in new computer hardware and software development tools to
assist its growing development staff in producing excellent software rapidly.
Surfware recently moved into new offices in Camarillo, California.
