Chicago, IL – The SAVO Group, the industry’s leading provider of Sales Enablement solutions, announced today the appointment of Jeff Summers as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), from Senior Vice President of Marketing.

Summers’ promotion comes at the close of the second quarter of a watershed year for SAVO.

A Chicago native, Summers joined SAVO from California-based Siebel Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: SEBL), where he was general manager of the Siebel Sales Product Group. As GM, Summers directed a global product management team responsible for one of Siebel’s largest solution areas and helped launch Siebel Sales 7.7. He has 18 years of high-level sales and marketing experience, having also held various leadership roles at IBM (NYSE: IBM), Blackwell Consulting and TIBCO Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TIBX).

Summers is a 1987 graduate of Northwestern University, where he received a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.
