Strategic Hire Highlights Company Growth in Universal Search And Publishing Markets
WOBURN, Mass. – June 17, 2009 – EveryZing, Inc., a next-generation universal search and publishing technology provider, today announced that Tauseef Bashir has joined the company as Vice President for Sales & Business Development. Bashir joins EveryZing at a time when the company is experiencing rapid growth and adoption of its solutions amongst media companies, and follows last month’s announcement of a strategic partnership with NBC and investment from Peacock Equity. Bashir brings deep experience from both the enterprise software and media industries and will be focused on expanding EveryZing’s partnering activities among television, radio, and print media companies.
“We are at an exciting point in EveryZing’s market development,” said Stephen Baker, EveryZing CRO. “Our unique approach to unlocking and leveraging the vast quantities of online content enables media companies to improve the user experience and monetization potential of their websites. ezSEARCH and ezSEO are the only solutions available with the ability to comprehensively index content of all formats, poising the company for tremendous growth. Tauseef’s impressive industry experience, management background, and track record with rapid-growth companies make him an excellent fit with our company. We are delighted that EveryZing’s continued success has enabled us to add Tauseef to the team.”
Over the past 12 years, Bashir has held a variety of enterprise software sales and management roles with leading software companies and start-ups. Prior to EveryZing, Tauseef was the CEO and Founder of TauMed, a semantic health search engine and video sharing community. Prior to starting TauMed, Bashir was a Regional Vice President at FAST, a Microsoft subsidiary, where he led revenue growth through relationships with leading web publishers, including IAC, Edmunds, and BestBuy. Prior to FAST, Bashir was the lead sales manager in the Bay Area for Autonomy, where he negotiated agreements with the leading enterprises such as Sun Microsystems and Fujitsu. Bashir’s business development experience combined with his unique knowledge of online publishing, search, and the needs of online media companies will enable EveryZing to broaden its market reach and grow overall revenue.
“As companies increasingly produce multimedia content, they are struggling to provide applications that allow the discovery of all forms of content, including text, video, audio, and images,” Bashir said. “Nowhere is this more apparent than in the media and entertainment industry where future monetization opportunities rely on packaging all content for online consumption. EveryZing’s offerings are the clear industry leader in this regard and I look forward to joining the team at a time when many enterprises will be replacing and upgrading their existing search and publishing platforms.”
