San Jose, March 1st, 2005 – Euresto Partners, the sales and marketing service agency formed earlier this year by software industry veterans Jim Leonard and Pat Bitton, today announced the formation of its advisory board.

"While we can provide a broad range of sales and marketing expertise from our in-house resources”, says Leonard, “we felt it could only be of benefit to our clients to provide them with easy access to a broader range of business counsel."

The Euresto Partners advisory board currently comprises ten active members:

Comments board member Norman Hirsch "Jim and Pat have a knack for picking winners. As a well-established information security reseller, it's important that the products I recommend to my customers are high quality. It's also important that the vendors I work with understand my needs as a reseller with operations in the US and overseas. I’m more than happy to advise Euresto Partners’ clients on best practices in channel support."
