PACKET DESIGN NAMES ACKLEY VP OF WORLDWIDE SALES
PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 8, 2007 – Packet Design, Inc., the leader in the field of route analytics technology for managing large IP networks, has named Steve Ackley vice president of worldwide sales. He reports to Packet Design CEO Jack Bradley.
Ackley comes to Packet Design from MonoSphere, a Redwood City, Calif., storage capacity planning software company, where he had been vice president of worldwide sales since 2004. Previously he had been vice president of worldwide sales at Satmetrix Systems, a provider of on-demand software and consulting services for improving customer loyalty.

"Steve's proven track record in successfully selling technically complex infrastructure software makes him a great fit for Packet Design," Bradley said. "He has also had extensive experience working with startup companies, generating positive results with small but aggressive direct sales teams. We anticipate his making a major contribution as Packet Design moves into a new year and a new phase of company growth."
A resident of Mountain View, Calif., Ackley, 46, holds a J.D. degree from Santa Clara University School of Law and a B.S. from San Diego State University School of Business.
