SumTotal® Systems, Inc., a leader in Strategic Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions, today announced the two newest members of its executive leadership team. Bill Shaheen, who recently served as Oracle's Group Vice President of HCM, joins as SumTotal's new Executive Vice President of Worldwide Sales. Holly Rollo joins as SumTotal's newly appointed Chief Marketing Officer, coming from SuccessFactors where she recently served as Vice President of Global Marketing.

In addition to his work at Oracle, he led the large-enterprise sales group at Taleo and held senior sales-management positions with Unicru and Requisite Technology.

Moving forward, we will continue to focus on customer success and delivering deeper levels of value across the board."
