Thomas Koll Appointed Chairman of Infowave Board of Directors VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--Infowave Software (TSE:IW), a global provider of software that connects enterprise applications to wireless devices, today announced several executive management changes designed to better align resources against revenue opportunities. Thomas Koll has been appointed Chairman of the board of directors, replacing Morgan Sturdy, who will remain on the board as a director. Koll will turn over the day-to-day operations of the Company and responsibilities of the chief executive officer to a newly-named Office of the President, which is comprised of chief financial officer George Reznik, chief technology officer Sal Visca and board member Jim McIntosh. "The board has unanimously appointed Thomas to serve as board chairman and move into a role that will allow him to focus on strategic relationships in lieu of operational details that have been his focus for the last several months," said board chairman Morgan Sturdy. Koll was instrumental in raising $22 million for Infowave, creating a new carrier-focused initiative, re-orienting the enterprise sales organization to focus on larger opportunities, expanding to Europe, and initiating and strengthening key partner relationships with Handspring, AT&T Wireless, Rogers AT&T and others. Koll significantly strengthened Infowave's relationship with Compaq by securing a three-year strategic alliance, a $2 million investment and the sale of an internal global site license. "This new structure will allow me to focus my time on strategic global relationships where I can affect high impact opportunities, while the newly created Office of the President will provide an intensive day-to-day operational focus," Thomas Koll said. "I believe the Office of the President, working with an optimized senior management team and reporting directly to the board, is well positioned to drive sales, continue the successful business activities already underway, and introduce exciting new products that address the needs of Infowave's expanding customer base." Additional changes to the management team are as follows: John Diack has been named vice president global sales; Matthew Eichhorst has been named vice president, business development and services, Ron Jasper has been named vice president, business development - network operator solutions focused on global network operators and Heather Knox, director of corporate communications, has assumed additional responsibility for corporate marketing strategy and marketing communications.
