AUSTIN, Tex. (September 13, 2002) - TriActive, Inc. announced today that Sol Suberi, a veteran executive in systems management, has joined the company as president and CEO.

Suberi has nearly a decade of experience leading companies focused on systems management. As the president of Systems Management Solutions, Inc. (SMS) for six years, he successfully introduced systems management software into large enterprises such as Dun & Bradstreet, American Express, Ford Motor Company, VISA and NYNEX. He subsequently became CEO and chairman of The Kernel Group (TKG), a developer of software solutions that enhance enterprise systems management. Under his leadership, the company expanded its operations to Europe and established worldwide sales and support capabilities. Suberi successfully negotiated the sale of TKG to Veritas Software in December 2001, having previously negotiated the acquisition of SMS by Platinum Technology (later acquired by Computer Associates).

“Sol has extensive experience in providing systems management solutions to major enterprises. His track record as the chief executive of market-leading companies over the years, coupled with his success in building businesses to achieve profitable objectives, will be great assets to TriActive,” said board member Thomas H. Peterson, a general partner of El Dorado Ventures. “He complements the dedicated team already in place as the company continues to serve its existing customers and add new ones.”
