Echelon Mourns Loss of Bea Yormark
Echelon Corporation (NASDAQ:ELON)
announced today that Beatrice Yormark, the Company’s
president and chief operating officer, passed away this weekend from
complications related to a cerebral hemorrhage. She was 63 years old.
"It is impossible in just a few short
sentences to describe the magnitude of the impact Bea made during her 18
years at Echelon or the depth of loss we feel,”
said Ken Oshman, Echelon’s chairman and chief
executive officer. "Bea was a brilliant
strategist, an inspirational leader, a tough negotiator, and a caring
friend. She was one of those rare people who made everyone around her
better by inspiring them to find more in themselves than they knew was
possible. Bea touched thousands of lives while at Echelon, and as word
of her condition spread, customers and partners from around the globe
called and wrote with kind words and warm prayers. They all feared that
they might lose a friend. That was the sort of person Bea was —
loved and respected by all who knew her. We will miss her greatly; yet
we will still see her every day in the people she mentored, the teams
she built, the values she instilled, the technology she helped launch,
and the company that she helped to lead for so long. Echelon is part of
her legacy, and one that will continue to make her proud.”
Bea Yormark joined Echelon in 1990. Before joining Echelon she was the
chief operating officer of Connect, Inc., an online information services
company. Earlier in her career she held a variety of positions including
executive director of systems engineering for Telaction Corporation;
director in the role of partner at Coopers & Lybrand; vice president of
sales at INTERACTIVE Systems Corporation (the first company to
commercialize and sell UNIX®
systems); and various staff positions at the Rand Corporation. Following
the completion of her M.S. in computer science at Purdue University, she
spent a year teaching there. In addition to her graduate degree, she
earned a B.S. in mathematics from City College of New York. In 2001, she
was a YWCA Santa Clara Women in Industry Honoree and she received a
Purdue University School of Science Distinguished Alumnus Award for
2003. She also served on the Board of Directors of I.D. Systems Inc.
