Boa Technology has expanded its executive team by hiring Merle McCreery as Chief Financial Officer and made a number of new hires across several departments.


“With over a decade of experience, Merle brings a wealth of financial leadership to Boa and we are very pleased to have him on board,” says Mark Soderberg, president of Boa Technology.


McCreery previously worked at Deloitte & Touche and StorageTek and served as CFO for multiple venture-capital and private-equity corporations, including International Language Engineering, Network Photonics and ProStor Systems. He also served as Controller at Exabyte Corporation, where he helped guide the company through an initial public offering.


Another key hire is Doug Starkey, who joins Boa Technology’s sales team as a regional account manager for Boa Medical. Starkey is charged with establishing Boa as an ingredient brand within several medical product categories that are emerging over the next two years. Starkey’s experience in high-level software development, sales and product management align with Boa Technology’s high standards for partner-brand collaboration and commitment to innovation.


Starkey comes to Boa from N-R-G Foods, makers of Honey Stinger, where he served as sales manager, a post that equipped him with an excellent understanding of mass retail distribution channels, which will be an asset for Boa’s direct-to-consumer medical market segment.
