    ZAANDAM, the Netherlands, June 28 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/
-- WoodWing Software has named publishing industry veteran
Hans Janssen to the position of CEO effective August 1, as
the company expands its board to meet the demands of a
rapidly growing customer base.

    "With the tremendous growth we've been
experiencing, this will allow us to continue to provide
outstanding service to our customers, while at the same
time continuing to develop our products to meet future
challenges," said Erik Schut, President of WoodWing
Software. "We have very ambitious growth objectives,
and this will help us achieve them. The new board lineup
will allow me to concentrate on product development and
technology, while Hans focuses on business
development."

    "Hans' experience will be invaluable for us,"
Schut said. "Hans has extensive knowledge of the
newspaper industry and IT, and that's going to allow us to
continue our expansion around the world. He's a great
addition to our team."

    Janssen is no stranger to WoodWing. He helped found the
company along with Schut and several other technology
experts who had been working together at Mediasystemen in
the 1990s.

    For the past several years, Janssen has been working as
Director of IT for Telegraaf Media Groep. Seeing the growth
at WoodWing, though, he decided to become more actively
involved with the day-to-day operations of the company he
helped create.

    "I've been very impressed with the way in which
WoodWing has become one of the leading players in the
publishing technology industry," Janssen said.
"This is one of the fastest-growing technology
companies in the country. I can't wait to get
started."

    Janssen brings along more than 20 years of experience
in the publishing industry. He was the technical director
for Mediasystemen. He joined Telegraaf Media Groep in 2001
where he developed the IT strategy. For the past four
years, he's been the managing director of Telegraaf Media
ICT, Telegraaf Media Groep's internal IT supplier.
