Nuance nudges numbers up, names new sales exec

By Kyle Alspach

Nuance Communications Inc. said Thursday it has appointed a new executive vice president and is forecasting better-than-expected revenue for its quarter ended March 31.

The Burlington-based firm, a maker of speech recognition software, said its preliminary forecast for the quarter is for revenue of $316 million and $319 million, compared to the previous guidance of between $304 million and $316 million. The results for the quarter, the company’s fiscal second quarter, will be released May 10.

Meanwhile, Nuance (Nasdaq: NUAN) said it has appointed Bill Nelson as executive vice president for worldwide sales. Steve Chambers, who has been serving both in that position and as chief marketing officer, will continue on as CMO.

Nelson joins Nuance from Sungard Availability Services, where he was executive vice president of North American sales. Previous positions included executive vice president of global sales at Nortel Networks and senior vice president at EMC Corp.
