Portland, Ore. —June 18, 2002—Sanda Communications has hired Gail Meredith to head up its public relations services, to champion clients' products and services by working with and influencing the media, analysts, customers and investors.

Meredith has more than 15 years of experience with high-tech clients, from both the agency side and from within companies. She has partnered with clients like Lattice Semiconductor to transform markets with breakthrough products and eagle-eye positioning. She has launched clients like Tektronix into new businesses and managed their corporate announcements and trade-show PR. She is as accomplished negotiating magazine covers as she is transforming bad news into good news, and she’s won national awards for her communications work.

"I'm excited to join Sanda, and I can see why The Business Journal has ranked them as the fastest growing high-tech agency in Oregon. My experience with advertising agencies helps me appreciate what Jerry and Scott have created here at Sanda: a lean, diverse, insightful talent team that can move swiftly to respond to companies and opportunities in the marketplace," she says.

Meredith has made major contributions to Portland and Bay Area software companies. She understands how marketing disciplines interplay, having held positions including corporate communications manager, marketing manager, VP for new business development, product marketing manager, public relations director and investor relations manager.
