and yet Mike Pointer was DEMOTED from COO to Chief Scientist within months after he was hired by scam company YIPI

go figure





Mike Pointer is very much by all factual accounts a respected data scientist.

Top IBM Watson engineer.

Here's the facts no fiction:

By hiring Mr. Pointer, Yippy affirms its commitment to aggressively pursuing the appliance-based search market, which the Company estimates to be worth at least $500 million per year. With thousands of businesses in urgent need for a highly secure enterprise search solution to replace the outgoing GSA, Yippy offers a superior search solution based upon IBM Watson Explorer technology.

Mr. Pointer brings to Yippy a wealth of experience in sales, support and deployment of Watson Explorer technology. He was an early employee of Vivisimo, Inc. ("Vivisimo"), which developed the Watson Explorer core technology. At Vivisimo, Mr. Pointer served as Director of Customer Support, leading Vivisimo's technical sales, implementation and technical support teams. Mr. Pointer also founded the Vivisimo training program.

After IBM purchased Vivisimo in 2012, Mr. Pointer served in a variety of senior roles with IBM, including Senior Director of Customer Support and Watson Solution Architect. In those roles, Mr. Pointer was responsible for worldwide sales, implementation, critical support delivery and technical enablement of IBM Watson products.

"The departure of Google from the enterprise search market is a significant disruption for thousands of customers, and Yippy/MC+A teams have already begun selling replacements," said Mr. Pointer. "The reason I am here is because the Yippy Search Appliance not only surpasses the competition by a wide margin, I believe it to represent a significant advance over all search appliance products on the market."

We have these comments from the latest release.

He added, "Mike Pointer, in his new role as Yippy's Chief Scientist, will be leading a team of very accomplished data scientists and development personnel. Mike and I have known each other for several years, and we have tremendous respect for each other's respective abilities. We will now collaborate on all future projects for Yippy to help advance our lead in search and compression technology."

"There are many reasons our Yippy Search Appliance (YSA) and Cloud (YSC) are doing well in the current marketplace, but chief among them is our team's hard work, dedication and attention to detail," stated Richard Granville, Chief Executive Officer, Yippy, Inc. He continued, "I believe that together John and Mike are going to make the Company very successful in our quest to be the best alternative for the Google Search Appliance (GSA) as customers seek a replacement. We are very blessed to have John on our executive team and Board, and I believe our customers and shareholders are going to benefit greatly from his direction and experience."
