WITI Member Karen Morphy Joins ReCellular as Senior Business Development Manager

ReCellular, the world’s leading resource for cell phone recycling, refurbishment and resale, has announced that Karen Morphy of Folsom, CA, has joined the firm as Senior Business Development Manager. She will be leading and growing ReCellular’s enterprise channel targeting Fortune 500-1000 companies.

“Most large enterprises either pay someone to dispose of their eWaste or leave it up to employees to dispose of smaller used electronics,” says Morphy. “I look forward to educating companies on ReCellular's industry-shaping alternatives and helping them set up viable sustainability programs."

In her 30+-year career in business development, Karen has specialized in IT Services and Electronic Sustainability industries. She brings to ReCellular a proven track record of successful revenue and profit growth, account management, customer satisfaction and employee development.

Karen enhances ReCellular’s global credentials having led large multi-national technology and business development teams in her various roles at General Motors, Electronic Data Systems, and Xerox. Additionally, she grew international client relationships in the consumer electronics sustainability industry while at Solectron and Flextronics.

”ReCellular’s comprehensive services and leadership in data protection has made us the go-to company for handling retired corporate cell phones,” said Steve Manning, CEO of ReCellular. “Karen brings a great mix of experience and skill to help us continue growing in that market.”

Most recently Karen provided Gartner’s IT research and consulting services to departments and agencies in the State of California. She is a co-founder of the Sacramento Women in Technology organization and currently serves on the Leadership Council as its Program Director.

Her American story and three decade career in nearly every aspect of the law provide Judge Sotomayor with unique qualifications to be the next Supreme Court Justice. She is a distinguished graduate of two of America's leading universities. She has been a big-city prosecutor and a corporate litigator. Before she was promoted to the Second Circuit by President Clinton, she was appointed to the District Court for the Southern District of New York by President George H.W. Bush.
