NEW YORK, June 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Tervela, the leading provider of fast, reliable data movement solutions for mission-critical applications, today announced that it has appointed Mike Leeolou to the position of Vice President of Sales. With over 25 years of experience in enterprise sales and executive management, Leeolou brings a proven track record, strong relationships, and first-class leadership to Tervela.

"Tervela has made great strides in the past 12 months, and I'm very excited to be joining at this time," said Leeolou. "The fact that Tervela is helping some of the largest banks solve big challenges with global, real-time mission-critical apps is a strong indicator of even bigger opportunities for Tervela."

"Mike is joining Tervela at a time when we are expanding our customer base, our vertical focus, and our geographic distribution," said Schnadig. "His experience and execution focus will enhance our growth prospects and bring management depth to our team."
