AUSTIN, Texas – February 15, 2005 – Britestream Networks, a catalyst for the creation of a ubiquitous, secure and private Internet, today announced that Nadia Mansour has joined the executive team as vice president of worldwide sales. Her responsibilities will include driving OEM customer acquisition in the network and enterprise server markets, developing the company’s global channel program, and managing relationships with Britestream’s strategic partner alliances.
