Atlanta, October 20, 2010 -
NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: NEOM.OB), the global leader in mobile
barcode scanning solutions, today announced that Ms. Laura Marriott has been
appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors as acting Chief Executive Officer
(“CEO”) and Chairperson of the Board of Directors. Ms. Marriott takes over from
previous CEO Iain McCready who has stepped down to pursue other
interests.
"We
appreciate the leadership that Iain brought to NeoMediaTM over
the past two and a half years and wish him well in his future endeavors," said
George O’Leary, NeoMedia Board member. “Laura is now the right person to lead
the company forward at this time of tremendous growth and
activity.”
Ms.
Marriott moves into the CEO position from her existing role as Board member and
acting Chief Marketing Officer. She will work closely with the Board on the
overall management of the Company as well as to progress a number of new and
ongoing business opportunities.
Following
her three year presidency of the Mobile Marketing Association, and a further
eighteen years’ experience in the high-tech industry in the areas of business
development, product management and marketing, Ms. Marriott has a proven track
record of leadership and the ability to create and execute on programs with
measurable results. Ms. Marriott has previously held leadership positions at
Intrado, Cyneta Networks and Cell-Loc Inc/TimesThree.
"I have
been working with NeoMedia in a number of capacities since early 2009 and I see
enormous potential in both the Company and the mobile barcode space. With its
extensive suite of products, services and IP portfolio, NeoMedia is the only
provider able to offer its customers a comprehensive end-to-end mobile code
solution. I look forward to working with the NeoMedia team to continue to build
upon the successes and create new opportunities for the organization," said Ms.
Marriott.
Throughout
2010 NeoMedia has gone from strength to strength, forging partnerships and
collaborating with key players within the mobile barcode ecosystem. For example,
NeoMedia recently announced a partnership with Samsung Electronics Italy to
deliver mobile enterprise services to its customers and the start of an
assessment phase with the aim to have NeoReaderTM
pre-installed across all Samsung platforms, giving enterprises the choice and
flexibility they want and offering consumers a rich and more interactive mobile
experience. NeoMedia has also signed international strategic business agreements
