Company Overview
DemandTec (NASDAQ: DMAN) enables retailers and consumer products companies to optimize merchandising and marketing decisions, individually or collaboratively, to achieve their sales volume, revenue, and profitability objectives. DemandTec software services utilize DemandTec’s science-based software platform to model and understand consumer behavior. DemandTec customers include more than 195 leading retail and consumer products manufacturers such as Best Buy, ConAgra Foods, Delhaize America, General Mills, Giant-Carlisle, H-E-B Grocery Co., Hormel Foods, Monoprix, PETCO, Safeway, Sara Lee, The Home Depot, and WH Smith. Connected via the DemandTec TradePoint Network™, DemandTec customers have collaborated online with nearly 2.2 million trade deals. For more information, please visit www.demandtec.com

A Word About NEW
As a provider of analytical software and services to both retailers and consumer product manufacturers, DemandTec works closely with many talented, passionate women who are contributing to both their companies’ bottom line and culture in a very positive way. DemandTec’s support of NEW is an endorsement that empowering women and investing in their careers is strategically important for companies that want to connect with consumers. In addition, while DemandTec has always strived to recognize and reward the contributions of its female employees, NEW provides us with insights and tools that help us recruit and retain a diverse workforce. We are particularly excited about getting more involved in the regional chapters across the country, since many of our field-based people are looking for ways to make connections.

A Word About Diversity
The software industry has some of the same historical challenges as the retail and CP industry in terms of attracting and developing talented women. As a young company, DemandTec has had the opportunity to shape our policies and processes from the ground up to attract and support a very diverse team. One statistic I’m personally proud of is the gender diversity on our science team, which is roughly 40% female and has gender balance with respect to seniority. This is an ongoing journey for us as it is for other companies, and NEW’s leaders, members, and guest speakers are truly a positive influence in this regard.
