CORE K12 Names James M. Luthi as National Vice President of Sales

CORE K12 Appoints New Head of Sales.

Jersey City, N.J. (December 15, 2010) – CORE K12 is pleased to announce that James (Jim) Luthi is joining its executive management team as Vice President of Sales effective January 1, 2011.  

From a field of highly qualified candidates, Mr. Luthi achieved the appointment based on his energetic approach to sales and leadership, as well as his knowledge of formative assessment.  

Kevin Howell, President of CORE K12, says of the appointment, “CORE K12 is launching a new generation of innovative products and services to directly advance the stated goals of American education’s strategic leadership.  We looked for a sales leader who understands this mission.  Jim’s background, his articulate presence and thoughtful manner all fit with our approach to school partnering.  And our full partnership team is comprised of more than just our staff – it includes the leaders, teachers and even the students of the districts and state departments of education we serve.  Jim won this appointment because he embodies the personal attributes, drive and understanding necessary to make each of our partnerships more than a simple success – we want each to be a dramatic success.”

Mr. Luthi has built his sales career around working with technology and education organizations in the Pacific Northwest.  Most recently, he was the Director of Major Accounts for the Northwest Evaluation Association (“NWEA”) headquartered in Portland Oregon.  During his tenure with NWEA, Jim Luthi built the most profitable sales team experienced by NWEA. He accomplished this goal by creating a major accounts team targeting the 200 largest school districts across the U.S. and streamlined NWEA internal processes to support the needs of these large districts.  

Prior to his position with NWEA, Mr. Luthi founded and directed a custom consulting business designed to help high tech sales forces build targeted value propositions for meetings with executives of billion+ dollar corporations.  The programs and reports developed as part of the consulting business helped link business initiatives directly with the vendor’s products/services resulting in increased sales.

Mr. Luthi earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from the University of Oregon in 1991.

KIPP West Atlanta Young Scholars (WAYS) Academy Receives Donation from CORE Advanced Technologies

Atlanta, GA (March 9, 2011) – On Friday, December 10, 2010 KIPP WAYS Academy experienced a fire that heavily damaged its building.   The weekend after the fire, hundreds of volunteers worked to ensure that a relocation facility was ready for the students to seamlessly return to classes first thing the following Monday morning.

Upon learning about the fire, CORE Advanced Technologies reached out to KIPP WAYS Academy to see how they could help.   Headquartered in Atlanta, CORE’s mission is to provide educators, students, vendors, administrators and policy-makers a "one-stop" source for all of their needs in educational technology. Our solutions range from computer hardware for desktops to data centers, cloud computing, to a portfolio of professional services including database consulting, end user help desk, infrastructure and monitoring, managed deployments and virtualization.

In support of KIPP WAYS’ fundamental mission, CORE immediately donated sixteen laptops, a laptop cart and other hardware to KIPP WAYS Academy to help reconstruct their IT infrastructure.   CORE plans to continue to partner with KIPP WAYS Academy in the future and grow with them as they evolve into the 21st century classroom.  

“KIPP WAYS Academy is to be commended for their Herculean efforts in the aftermath of the fire.  We are amazed at their dedication to their students.   It is no wonder they are so successful preparing 5th – 8th grade students on the path to and through college.  We plan to do everything we can to continue to support them,” said Bill Wallet, President of CORE Advanced Technologies.

Shekhar Iyer, Chief Executive Officer of CORE Advanced Technologies’ parent company, CORE Education and Consulting Solutions (CORE ECS), and Bill Wallet will be meeting with David Jerigan, the Executive Director of KIPP Metro Atlanta Schools, to discuss ways to strengthen the ongoing partnership between the two organizations.
