IRVINE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Sendio, Inc. (www.sendio.com), the enterprise email integrity
company whose products ensure that users receive all legitimate email
messages but block all viruses, bots, phishing attacks and spam, today
announced that Kevin Bowyer has been promoted to Chief Executive
Officer. Mr. Bowyer was previously Sendio's Senior Vice President of
Sales and Services; he joined the company in February 2007 and led the
team that recruited more than 200 resellers and delivered a 300%
increase in revenues during the year.

   "Since 2004 we have been engineering the Sendio I.C.E. Box email
integrity appliance to be effective across all vertical market
segments, including legal, healthcare, city and state government,
education and financial services," said Matt Ridenour, managing
partner at Momentum Venture Management and chairman of Sendio's Board
of Directors. "Our focus now is on helping our resellers grow their
sales pipelines and capturing market share from obsolete anti-spam
filtering products. Kevin has experience building global sales and
service organizations, and produced outstanding results for us in
2007. His promotion to CEO will allow us to pursue our objectives
aggressively."

   Prior to joining Sendio, Mr. Bowyer served as President and CEO of
Cogent Global Services, an international sales outsourcing company
focused on developing global sales/marketing strategies for early
stage technology companies. Previously, he was President of US sales
for Mitel Networks, where he dramatically increased year-over-year
enterprise revenues leveraging channel partners. From 1984 to 2002,
Bowyer held executive-level leadership positions at Nortel Networks,
including president of worldwide enterprise professional services and
group vice president for enterprise networks. He holds a bachelor's
degree from the University of Windsor (Ontario), and also completed
the Executive Leadership Program in International Marketing at
Columbia University.

   Sendio's I.C.E. Box is a stand-alone email security appliance that
controls both the inbound and outbound flow of email messages.
Incoming communications from known senders are authenticated, scanned
for viruses and then delivered immediately to the appropriate inboxes.
email from previously unknown senders is "challenged" to verify that
the sender is not an automated spam generator sending messages
anonymously. Only legitimate email is forwarded on to the Exchange
server. Similarly, outbound messages are checked to ensure that no
"malware" is being sent inadvertently to other businesses. The I.C.E.
Box scales from hundreds of users to tens of thousands, and can
process email in any language.
