In addition, Enmetric announced that Steve Capelli, a former President at Sybase (an SAP Company), participated in the round, joined its Board of Directors, and will join the operating team in an advisory role. 'What's exciting about Enmetric is that we now have a technology for the enterprise that addresses how individuals can easily contribute to cost savings and asset management for the enterprise without giving up control -- and it's measurable too,' said Capelli.
'As an investor and advisor to Enmetric, I'm excited to welcome Steve to Enmetric's Board and our new strategic capital partners to the table,' added Brad Buss, CFO of Cypress Semiconductor and Board Member of Tesla Motors. 'Adding Steve's track record of building and managing a billion dollar-plus sales operation in the enterprise software space comes at the perfect time as we begin to accelerate Enmetric's growth.'
