“I`ve had the chance to get very close to more than 100 companies over thecourse of my venture career,” said Michael Levinthal of Levinthal Capital andformer partner in the Mayfield Fund “One of those companies was Altiris. GregButterfield`s leadership as CEO and team builder produced extraordinary resultsfor that company. Of all the leaders I`ve had the chance to be involved with, Iwould place him at the top of the class. For Greg and his SageCreekteam-including capabilities in sales, finance, deal structuring, productmanagement and engineering-the chance to make these resources available toadditional companies in Utah as well as nationally and even globally isincredibly valuable. It`s a missing piece of what we need to allow the nextgeneration or two of technology companies to accomplish the kind of fabuloussuccess and growth Altiris achieved.” Prior to founding SageCreek Greg was the Group President of the Altiris andServer and Storage business units for Symantec. Butterfield joined Symantecthrough the company’s acquisition of Altiris in April 2007. At Altiris, heserved as chairman of the board, president and CEO.

Butterfield was the drivingforce behind eleven acquisitions and he successfully completed an IPO in 2002 inthe face of a notable economic downturn. The IPO was followed in August of 2003with a successful secondary offering. Mark Sunday, Senior Vice President and CIO of Oracle, said, “It`s a rareoccasion when you get to know an individual with such intellect, leadership,drive, charisma and compassion that they set a higher standard both personallyand professionally that inspires not only me but everyone around them to be abetter version of themselves. Greg is certainly such a man.” Prior to joining Altiris, he served as executive vice president of worldwidesales at Vinca Corporation where he increased revenue from $1.7 million to $24million in less than three years and positioned the company to be sold to LegatoSystems for $92 million in 1999.

Annual Global Relocation Trends Survey Uncovers Pessimism Not Seen Since 2001 as67 Percent of Companies Expect to Either Decrease or Maintain Number ofEmployees They Relocate; Moving Younger Employees Hits A Snag – And an All-TimeLowWOODRIDGE, Ill.–(Business Wire)–In a sign of continuing uncertainty about the global economy, multinationalcompanies will be sending fewer employees on international assignments than inpast years, according to the latest Global Relocation Trends Survey Report,published annually by Brookfield Global Relocation Services (Brookfield GRS)( http://). What`s more, when companies do relocate employees for both short and long-termoverseas assignments these days, they are opting to dispatch older and moreexperienced employees because they present the least risk of assignment failure.In fact, just 9 percent of expatriates were 20 to 29 years old – the lowest inthe survey`s 14 year history. It appears that developmental assignments aredeclining in the current economic climate as companies opt to send moreexperienced employees. The worldwide survey of 180 multinational firms revealed widespread wariness andpessimism: More than two-thirds (67 percent) of corporations surveyed said theywill either decrease the number of employees they plan to relocate in 2009 or,at most, maintain current expatriate levels.
