FOLSOM, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — December 16, 2010 — Meridian Systems, the Plan-Build-Operate technology solutions leader for project-based organizations, announced today the appointment of Geene Alhady to the position of general manager. Alhady has been with Meridian for more than a decade and has strong domain experience in the construction project management industry.

“I would like to acknowledge John for his leadership role in helping to pioneer and influence the construction project management software industry and his successful career at Meridian, where he was instrumental in building a strong foundation for the company over the last decade,” said Geene Alhady. “I have enjoyed collaborating with John as part of the management team and look forward to executing the long-term strategies and vision that has made us successful, including building out our global partner network and pursuing a new international expansion strategy.”
