June 3, 1999 - Cambridge-based technology company Autonomy has appointed six senior executives to head up sales of its knowledge management, new media, and electronic commerce software which automates the handling of vast amounts of unstructured information on the Internet and across the enterprise. The six new faces are Karlyn Griggs, Derek Puplett, Pat Neale, Neil Macehiter, Mark Quantrill and Chris Thomson.
An IT consultant with over 10 years account management experience, Griggs heads all channel sales for Autonomy. Previously, Griggs worked at Wang New Zealand, CACI and Dataware Technologies.

Quantrill joins from European Knowledge Solutions, where he worked as senior sales executive. He has over 10 years experience in IT sales and management including positions at British Aerospace.
Thomson joins from PPSL Ltd, part of the Leading Software Group, where he worked as sales director. Prior to that he worked at Uniplex. He has worked in IT sales and management for more than 15 years.
Former Olivetti divisional sales manager, Puplett joins as senior sales executive bringing with him over 30 years IT sales and marketing experience. Previously, he worked at Cambridge Parallel Processing as account manager.
Commenting on the new appointments, Dr Mike Lynch, Managing Director and CEO said: "These new recruits bring not only significant business experience and skills, but also a personal style which is well suited to the spirit and culture of Autonomy. We have recruited a high quality team to continue Autonomy's explosive growth."
About Autonomy:
Autonomy (www.autonomy.com) develops software that automatically organizes large, unstructured volumes of information into personally relevant communications to help corporate Intranets and commercial websites serve the changing needs and interests of users. Autonomy's products for knowledge management and new media publishing save time, labour and money by automatically and precisely categorising, linking, personalising and searching large volumes of information.
The intelligent pattern recognition technology that fuels Autonomy's software was originally developed by Autonomy's sister company, Neurodynamics, for use in intelligence and defence applications. That technology is at the heart of the British police force's Holmes2 system, named after Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary detective. The Holmes2 system helps the police solve crimes by matching fingerprints or by finding similarities and connections in disparate crime witness statements or police reports. The same technology is now being used to find connections in commercial data.
Autonomy was founded in 1996 and has offices in San Francisco, Boston, New York, Washington, D.C. and Cambridge, England. Autonomy customers include British Aerospace, News Corp., MacMillan Publishing, Associated Press, Barclays Bank, Shell International, Semi-Tech, The Royal Mail and Unilever. On July 10, 1998, the company went public on the EASDAQ exchange, achieving a valuation of $165 million and raising $35 million. The company's current valuation is $350 million.
