Industry Veteran and Former CommScope Sales Director Joins Leadership to Drive Global Enterprise
Sales, Marketing and Strategic Partnerships
Louisville, KY, June 2, 2010 Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc. (OTC BB: BEAC)
(www.askbeacon.com) an emerging global leader in the design, implementation and management of high
performance Information Technology Systems (ITS) infrastructure solutions, announces the hiring of
Mark Gervasoni as Chief Marketing & Sales Officer.
Mr. Gervasoni, age 51, brings 15 of years of experience in infrastructure sales, training, and
management in both the Fortune 1000 and government markets. As a CommScope Sales Director he
managed the accounts of such diverse clients as Capital One, The U.S. House of Representatives,
Carilion Health System, University of Virginia and DLA Piper Rudnick. Most recently he served as
President of New Media Development Corporation, a media and marketing firm specializing in the
creation and implementation of leading edge sales and marketing programs and collateral for
technology firms such as Multilink, SMP (now OCC), and Gridlogix (now Johnson Controls).
We are proud to announce the addition of Mark Gervasoni to the Beacon team as Chief Marketing &
Sales Officer, said Bruce Widener, CEO of Beacon Solutions. Not only does he have a wealth of
high level solutions-based sales and management experience, he also brings a sophisticated
background in marketing for services and product firms, specializing in both old and new media.
His combination of talents, industry knowledge, and leadership will reinforce our strengths and
will help drive Beacon to the next level as the leader in infrastructure solutions.
Building credibility, understanding complex business issues at the executive level and
establishing a network of global alliances are all critical in executing Beacons global strategy
said Mr. Gervasoni. Working closely with our partners in both distribution and manufacturing will
leverage our current sales and marketing assets and enable us to better introduce Beacons core
value proposition to a highly targeted Fortune 1000 audience. Additionally, my existing
relationships with firms such as SAIC, VT Milcom and Smart Buildings will enable Beacon to
penetrate new opportunities targeted specifically at IT Infrastructure solutions.
Mr. Gervasoni holds a degree in English from James Madison University. He has also written and
taught classes in Fiber Optics for clients such as Nextel and Cavalier Communications.
