Seasoned Technology Executive Brings Strong Expertise
MINNEAPOLIS–Rimage Corporation (NASDAQ:RIMG), today announced that it has named Robert Olson (55) to its Board of Directors, effective immediately. Mr. Olson is the Chairman and primary investor in Swift Knowledge, LLC, a business analytics software company focused on the banking and finance markets. He was also the founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Stellent, Inc., a publicly traded enterprise content management software company that was sold to Oracle Corporation in 2006. Mr. Olson will serve on the Audit and Compensation Committees. His appointment brings the total number of directors on the Rimage board to seven.
“Bob brings to our board significant experience in the development and management of growing technology companies,” said Sherman Black, President and CEO of Rimage. “His background includes expertise in developing customer and partner relationships, overseas expansion, and acquisitions. Bob’s expertise and knowledge will be extremely valuable to Rimage as we continue our transformation into growing segments of technology including virtual publishing and enterprise video communications.”
Mr. Olson founded Stellent, Inc., a developer of content management software, in 1991. During his tenure, revenues at the company grew to an annual run rate of $140 million. Many of the Fortune 1000 were Stellent customers and the company had partnerships with leading OEMs and System Integrators, including IBM, Nokia and Accenture. Stellent was sold to Oracle in 2006 for approximately $440 million, representing a 35% premium to its market valuation.
Prior to Stellent, Mr. Olson was involved in two additional technology startups that were subsequently sold. He began his career at Burroughs Corporation and 3M. He has served on the boards of several technology companies.
“I am excited to be joining the Rimage board as the Company moves forward with its transition into emerging technologies like virtual publishing,” said Bob Olson. “With a strong foundation in disc publishing which continues to generate cash, and the recent acquisition of Qumu, Rimage is in a very solid position to support its growth initiatives.
