SAN FRANCISCO, February 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Coverity, Inc., the software integrity leader, today announced that Ezi Boteach has joined as vice president of products. Boteach brings more than 15 years of product leadership experience to Coverity and will lead all areas of product management, market and product strategy, technology innovation and go-to-market priorities.

Ezi has a strong track record of driving product revenue growth and innovation, creating differentiated product strategy, and rolling up his sleeves to execute, said Seth Hallem, Coverity CEO. We are very excited to have Ezi join Coverity and he will be a critical driver of growth and innovation for our software integrity product portfolio.

Prior to Coverity, Boteach was with Mercury Interactive and HP Software where he led product management for the Business Service Automation (BSA) product team, one of the fastest growing products in the HP Software portfolio.

Coverity attacks these problems at the core by finding and eliminating defects before they can impact our customers or consumers. I am very excited to join the Coverity team to drive real, measurable customer value with our software integrity products.
