SMALL TREE NAMES JEFFREY BIPES DIRECTOR OF MARKETING AND SALES

Small Tree Communications, a leader in networking and storage solutions, announces the appointment of Jeffrey D. Bipes to director of marketing and sales. With nearly 25 years experience in sales and marketing for industry-leading companies such as Apple and Autodesk, Bipes will be responsible for continuing and facilitating Small Tree’s rapid growth in markets dependent on higher bandwidth and optimal system performance.

“As Small Tree introduces new technological solutions ideal for small- to mid-size businesses, as well as professional audio/video production and post-production facilities, it is crucial that we strengthen our sales and marketing force to keep up with the growing demands on our company,” said Corky Seeber, president of Small Tree Communications. “Jeff has a proven track record of executing and delivering business to business results, and that is critical to Small Tree’s continued success.”

Prior to joining Small Tree, Bipes owned and operated Chromium Switch Products, a supplier of CRM/IT/Custom Product Solutions serving the small business environment. Before launching out on his own, he served as business development manager for Metaphase Technology, where he played an integral part in the company’s growth from $75 million to $400 million in just three-and-a-half years, as well as product and marketing manager for Autodesk and Apple.

“As an avid Apple user, I was quite familiar with Small Tree before this opportunity arose,” Bipes stated. “In today’s market, speed is essential. My goal is to ensure that if a company has a bandwidth issue, it is aware of the cost-effective products and expert services Small Tree has to offer.”
