BURLINGTON, Massachusetts,
September 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
ClickSoftware Technologies Ltd. (NasdaqGS: CKSW), the leading
provider of automated mobile workforce management and optimization
solutions for the service industry, today announced that Co-CEO,
Mr. Hannan Carmeli, has resigned
from his position and will be leaving the Company. Mr. Carmeli
previously held the titles of President and Chief Operating
Officer, and was promoted to the Co-CEO position in June 2013. He will continue to serve the Company
as long as needed to ensure a smooth transition. Dr. Moshe BenBassat, ClickSoftware's Founder, will
continue as CEO.
"The Board determined that having two leaders at the top of the
Company was not practical, and that it was in the Company's best
interest to revert back to a more conventional structure of
leadership under one CEO," said Dr. Israel
Borovich, ClickSoftware's Chairman of the Board. "On behalf
of ClickSoftware and the Board of Directors, I would like to thank
Hannan for over 17 years of dedicated service to the Company, and
wish him all the best for the future," Dr. Borovich added.
"On a personal note, I'd like to thank Hannan deeply for many
years of joint work and sharing the load of running the Company,"
said Dr. Moshe BenBassat,
ClickSoftware's Founder and CEO. "Moving forward, the Company
continues to execute on its strategic plan through our powerful
business mobility apps and our Cloud-based solutions for both large
and small enterprises. In fact, several new contracts have already
been signed during the third quarter, including two significant
cloud-based deals with new customers," Dr. BenBassat added.
Mr. Carmeli joined ClickSoftware in 1996 as Manager of Product
Services and Operations and has served as Executive VP of Sales
& Professional Services since 2000, Chief Operating Officer
since 2006, and as President from 2008 until his promotion to
Co-CEO in June 2013.
