Sam Cece Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Sam I Am
Hello World.
My name is Sam Cece, and I’m the CEO of StrongMail Systems. We provide businesses with commercial-grade, on-premise solutions for marketing and transactional email. StrongMail raised its first round of funding in December, 2003 from Sequoia Capital and Evercore Ventures. We’ve accomplished so much since then.
Prior to joining StrongMail, I was, well, let’s say that I was on a long sabbatical—that sounds better than saying that I was retired. Prior to my “sabbatical,” I was an executive at BEA Systems. I never thought that I would find something compelling enough to entice me back into the game, until I was introduced to StrongMail, that is.
I am fortunate to be part of a very talented team of people (many of whom have their own StrongMail blog) that is defining a new market category in a rather dynamic market space -- which brings me to my blog. I’m very excited to share my views on a wide range of subjects, everything from Silicon Valley issues to meaty topics like management issues and innovation. This blog will allow me to communicate quickly, effectively and intimately with our customers (we have over 260 customers now!), our business partners and of course, our investors.
I don’t view this as a marketing forum -- it’s a communications medium. I’d like for us to have authentic, roll-up-your-sleeves discussions on the topics at hand. So please join in when you have something to say. Feel free to leave your comments on the blog, or drop me a line at scece@strongmail.com.
Thanks for dropping by, and stand by for some interesting conversation. Please, join in.
