Expandable has added a key member to its management staff. Those attending Expandability 2008 were the first to meet Dennis Payton, Expandable's new Director of Product Marketing, who joined the company just a few days before the conference. “The timing and theme of the conference was perfect,” said Dennis. “The conference provided a great opportunity to directly meet a large number of customers and discuss Expandable’s products in one intimate setting. Feedback from the Expandable’s users provides an invaluable aspect in shaping our product strategy, direction and future solutions we deliver to our core user base and the market.”

"I pushed very hard for us to bring Dennis on board, and he reports directly to me," said Expandable CEO Bob Swedroe. "One of my key goals is to constantly improve our product offering. Dennis is tasked with helping us roll out product updates quicker and more efficiently while focusing our development on efforts that will increase Expandable’s product breadth and depth."

Dennis comes to Expandable with a strong background in product management, having experience in a variety of design, engineering and product marketing functions at Silicon Valley companies including Nortel Networks, Intera Systems and GoDigital Networks.
