Omniture co-founder Josh James to leave company

OREM — Josh James, who co-founded and formerly served as CEO of Omniture, a Web analytical and marketing firm, will be leaving the company at the end of July. Brad Rencher, who formerly was vice president of business operations for Omniture BU (OBU), will succeed James and has been promoted to vice president and general manager.

The Orem-based company, which has a world-wide presence, was purchased by Adobe in 2009.

"With Omniture, Josh built the industry's first integrated online marketing suite as an intelligent platform to optimize online business initiatives," said. Shantanu Narayen, Adobe's president and CEO. "Further, he provided the leadership to ensure that we exceeded our timelines and milestones for the integration of Omniture into Adobe.

"In fact, Omniture's business has never been stronger and now accounts for about 10 percent of Adobe's revenue. This is due, in large part, to Josh's leadership and we're grateful for his contributions," Narayen said.
