FREDERICK, Maryland, ⎯ Yakabod, Inc., developer of the Yakabox™ Knowledge Network, has added two senior executives to its leadership team. Chris Coleman, executive vice president of marketing, and Ken Foxton, vice president of national intelligence programs, will focus on growing market share for the Yakabox, the company’s secure knowledge-sharing system.

“We’ve poured five years of time, effort and passion into the Yakabox,” says CEO Scott Ryser, “and nearly 20,000 users in the Intelligence Community prove every day that it outperforms clunky, traditional knowledge management and collaboration. There’s tremendous market potential here, and we have an aggressive plan to capture it. Chris Coleman and Ken Foxton play key roles in that plan.”

Chris Coleman has launched and branded more than 200 technology companies worldwide. She began her career at MSA (Dun & Bradstreet Software), owned an Atlanta advertising agency for 16 years, and was named Chief Marketing Officer for Atlanta-based SecureWorks in 2001. Author of two business books and a member of the National Speakers Association, Coleman has a degree in English Literature from the University of Washington.

Ken Foxton has 25 years of experience in high-security technology environments. His business development credentials range from entrepreneurial—he owned and managed an IT training company for five years—to Fortune 500 government contractors Allied Signal and Halifax Corporation. He is a member of the Intelligence & National Security Alliance, the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association, and the American Small Business Coalition. Foxton has a bachelor's degree in management information systems from
the University of Maryland and an MBA from Chapman University.
