Columbus, OH (PRWEB) July 27, 2015 -- Prevedére, a leading Big Data Predictive Analytics company, today announced that seasoned enterprise software executive John Shap has joined as executive vice president of worldwide field operations. With more than 25 years of experience in enterprise software sales, Shap will oversee Prevedére’s global sales, marketing and services teams and report directly to founder and CEO, Rich Wagner.
With Shap’s hire, Prevedére aims to accelerate its go-to-market strategy as the only predictive analytics solution on the market that improves forecasting accuracy across all industries with the use of external economic factors that affect business performance.

With previous executive leadership experience at firms including Hyperion (acquired by Oracle), DemandTec (acquired by IBM), SPSS (acquired by IBM), MarkLogic and most recently, Keynote Systems, Shap is well-positioned to enhance Prevedére’s sales and marketing strategy.
“I am thrilled to join Prevedére during this time of substantial growth and development,” said Shap. “Financial planning and analysis is critical for enterprise success across any industry, and Prevedére’s unique ability to provide answers to the ‘why’ and ‘when’ of performance is a game-changer in the financial forecasting space. I look forward to providing business value to enterprise organizations across the globe.”
In addition to its executive team, Prevedére expects to expand its entire team by 200% this year with the addition of new employees across its product development, sales and marketing departments to support its over 250% year-over-year growth and expanding client roster.
