SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4, 2009 — The Board of Directors of FIRE Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of compliance and training solutions to the financial services industry, today announced the appointment of Eric Sternbach as CEO, succeeding company co-founder Nicole Miller. Simultaneously, the Board announced that it was moving FIRE's headquarters from San Francisco to New York.
These moves were instigated by a desire to provide FIRE's client base with a customer-focused organization that can be even more responsive to their needs. FIRE will continue to be represented in the San Francisco area by Regional Sales Manager Elizabeth Ramsey, and by administrative and support staff.
For the past year, Eric has been Director of Sales and Marketing at FIRE. Prior to that, he held positions with ACF Consultants, SumTotal Systems, and founded MicroVideo Learning Systems, the world's first video-based computer training company, and over the ensuing 15 years grew it to 53-employee concern serving the Fortune 500 and Federal government.
Says Miller, "After working with Eric for the past year, I believe he will provide dynamic and experienced leadership for FIRE. This will serve our clients well and also enable FIRE to continue to grow and offer advanced solutions. I look forward to remaining involved with the company as a Board Member and advisor."
"I am honored that Nicole and the Board are providing me with this opportunity," says Sternbach. "I appreciate the trust our clients put in us every day to provide them with best-of-breed compliance and training solutions, and I am looking forward to building on the firm foundation established by Nicole and the entire FIRE team.
"As the former founder of my own business, I am keenly aware that the relationship we have with each client is our greatest asset, and I am committed to providing the highest quality solutions and customer service in the ever-changing compliance landscape," he adds.
