Lise Poulos, also an Executive Vice President, will focus initially on coordinating and facilitating the Company-wide investment in innovation and product development. Ms. Poulos served in a number of roles at Symbol Technologies since joining that company in 1997, and most recently was Senior Vice President of Human Resources and Corporate Affairs. Experienced in a wide range of administrative areas, as well as change management, Ms. Poulos worked at a major energy company and in the financial services industry prior to joining Symbol Technologies.

A strong commitment to customer service and product innovation is vital to build on Monster Worldwide's global market leadership position. Art O'Donnell and Lise Poulos are experienced executives with solid track records in large global enterprises, and they will strengthen our accountability and responsibility for these critical areas. I have personally worked with both Art and Lise, and I am confident that they will provide an excellent complement to the Monster Worldwide management team as well as our dedicated associates across the globe, noted Sal Iannuzzi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
