Gayle Crowell

Gayle Crowell serves as a director on E.piphany's board of directors. E.piphany provides Web-based applications that provide customer relationship management (CRM) analytic and operational solutions to both business-to-business and business to-consumer customers. She was past president and CEO at RightPoint Software, a provider of enterprise applications for real-time, one-to-one marketing. RightPoint was acquired by E.piphany in early January, 2000. With extensive talents in sales and organizational management and a vision for how companies can develop lucrative and successful customer relationships, Crowell had helped build RightPoint into an industry leader and trusted partner to its customers.

Under Crowell's direction in January 1998, RightPoint successfully evolved from a data mining company into an applications company. A stellar achievement of that evolution was RightPoint's highly acclaimed application suite, the Real-Time Marketing Suite, which achieved significant market visibility and penetration into the telecommunications and financial services industries. A vocal proponent for customer-centric marketing, Crowell's articulate vision and dynamic presence have made her a highly sought-after keynote speaker and panelist at analyst conferences, sales conferences and industry trade shows and events.

Prior to joining RightPoint, Crowell spent more than a decade as a senior executive in the enterprise software and call center software industries. As a Senior Vice President and General Manager of ViewStar Corporation, she led the successful pre- and post-merger integration activity between ViewStar Corporation and DSI, later renamed Mosaix Corporation. She created Oracle Corporation's first highly acclaimed indirect channel program and during her tenure as Vice President of Worldwide Sales at Recognition International, drove the adoption of Recognition International's Plexus imaging and workflow software as a corporate standard in more than twenty Fortune 500 companies.

Crowell began her career as an educator for the State of Nevada and graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor of science degree from University of Nevada at Reno.
