The results included an increase in demand for the company's products and heightened brand recognition, culminating in InfoWorld Magazine awarding ClearCube "Technology Of The Year" in 2006. Prior to this, Hitchcock held various marketing leadership roles in the IT services sector including Vice President of marketing for the global IT services firm eForce Global; and head of Americas and Europe field marketing for Cambridge Technology Partners, now a Novell company.

"He has more then two decades of success in building, positioning, and marketing both software and IT services companies in the U.S., Europe, and India. His blend of marketplace analytics and operational execution, combined with a strong understanding of sales and business development resulting from his early years successfully selling software and services, will be a strong asset to GlobalLogic." Hitchcock commented, "As a global services provider to emerging and established technology companies, GlobalLogic has achieved a leadership position by delivering what its partners want: value-driven software product lifecycle solutions that shrink product development and reduce TCO. Through VelocityT, its distributed agile development methodology, open source platforms and technical prowess, the firm is well positioned to continue to deliver to its customer partner's needs. I look forward to helping GlobalLogic continue to innovate and build on its impressive record of outstanding performance."
