Jive Software Adds To Board

Portland-based Jive Software, which develops software used for employee collaboration, said this morning that it has added Tony Zingale ato the firm's board of directors, and also released customer numbers. Zingale was most recently President and CEO of Mercury Interactive, before its acquisition by Hewlett-Packard; Zingale was also CEO of Clarify, and was an executive at Nortel's eBusiness Solutions Group. Privately held Jive also said that it has added nearly 800 customers and seen a 325 percent increase in sales, but did not release actual details of its finances. Jive Software is venture backed by Sequoia Capital, and develops Web 2.0-style collaboration tools.
