Board Appointment

The Board of Optimisa is pleased to announce the appointment of John Humpish as an independent non-executive Director effective as of today. John Humpish was previously an independent non-executive Director of eq Group plc (”eq”), which Optimisa acquired in 2007.  Mr Humpish did not own or control any interest in eq and did not financially benefit as a result of the Company’s offer for eq. The Board believe that the Company will benefit from John’s extensive marketing experience and his qualities as an experienced non-executive Director working with companies on the AIM market.

John is currently the Chief Marketing Officer of the European General Insurance division of Zurich Financial Services. He has previously held a variety of senior roles within the financial and consumer good sector at Axa Investment Managers, Deutsche Asset Management, Mars, Incorporated and Save & Prosper Group.

Ron Littleboy, Executive Chairman, commented: “We are delighted to welcome John Humpish to the Board of Optimisa. John brings with him a wealth of experience in marketing and is an experienced non-executive Director having held a similar position at eq Group. I am sure he will be an excellent addition to the Board who will be influential in developing and growing our business.”
