SILICON SLOPES, UT--(Marketwired - Jul 6, 2017) - Teem , a developer of cloud-based meeting tools and workplace analytics that aid in helping companies collaborate more effectively, today announced that Derek Newbold has joined the company as its new Chief Technology Officer. Derek brings over 20 years of enterprise software management, architecture and development experience to Teem. Newbold will be responsible for managing Teem's product infrastructure and will add input to the company's overall vision and day-to-day operations.

"Teem is thrilled to welcome an executive of Derek Newbold's caliber," said Shaun Ritchie, CEO and co-founder of Teem. "With a number of patents and innovations to his name, Derek will bring fresh ideas and proven structure as we continue our rapid growth in workplace optimization. We're all looking forward to working with Derek and are excited about the contributions he will bring to Teem."

Prior to joining Teem, Newbold held the same title at InMoment, where he recently led the product and development team in building a product suite that earned the company the top rank for strategy in the 2017 Forrester Wave™ Customer Feedback Management Report. In addition, he helped the company earn Stevie Awards three years in a row, most recently for Best Product of the Year. He also received a BA in Computer Science and Software Development at the University of Utah.

"As employees interact with people, places and technology, and as business leaders better understand these interactions, it's crucial for businesses to have the right technology that will reduce friction and foster better productivity," Newbold said. "Teem is changing the way companies view the workplace with solutions that will empower its workforce to be highly collaborative in ways never before possible. I look forward to being part of a company that continues to deliver world class solutions and redefining workplace collaboration and analytics."
