(Idiom), the leading independent supplier of SaaS and on-premise server-based globalization management systems (GMS), today announced that two new executives have joined its senior management team: Jeff Kosowsky, chief operating officer (COO) and Vincent Bareau, vice president of SaaS Technologies. Jeff will oversee all sales, marketing, business development and professional services activities, and Vincent is responsible for the design, development and evolution of the company's software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions.

"Increasing market demand for translation and localization technologies worldwide has led to tremendous growth for Idiom over the past year," said Mike Iacobucci, president and CEO, Idiom Technologies. "In Jeff, we have a proven leader who will ensure we're delivering a world-class experience for customers across our company, from the initial sale to their ongoing success with WorldServer. As WorldServer On-Demand plays an increasingly significant role in this success, we're also fortunate to have Vince's talent and experience driving our effort to make SaaS-based solutions a viable choice for our customers and expanding our technology solution to meet the unique needs of any business with greater flexibility and more choice."

Jeff has spent the past decade working alongside CEOs to develop and implement growth strategies and build world-class customer experiences.

Prior to GSI, he was an associate principal at McKinsey & Company where he co-led the New England Venture Capital and New Economy Practice. Jeff graduated summa cum laude from Harvard College and subsequently received a doctorate in applied mathematics from Harvard University and a medical degree from Harvard Medical School.

Vincent joins Idiom from Books24X7.com, where as chief architect he helped transform the company from a traditional e-book business into one of the first on-demand services on the Web. Building on this experience, Vincent will help Idiom ensure WorldServer On-Demand continues to offer the scalability, reliability and flexibility businesses need to respond quickly to new revenue opportunities in the marketplace as they grow and globalize. In addition to his experience launching pioneering SaaS solutions, Vincent brings 20 years of corporate software and engineering experience, including senior positions at Waters Corporation and ADE Corporation.
