Exhibit 99.1
Greg Hughes Named to LogMeIns Board of Directors
WOBURN, Mass., January 19, 2011 LogMeIn, Inc. (NASDAQ: LOGM), a leading provider of SaaS-based
remote connectivity solutions, has named Greg Hughes to the companys board of directors. The
software industry veteran joins LogMeIn as the company looks to build on its growth in the remote
access, support and collaboration markets.
Having recently held the position of President, Enterprise Product Group, at Symantec, a leading
storage, security, and systems management software company, Hughes brings significant
business-to-consumer and business-to-business experience to LogMeIns board of directors. Hughes
joined Symantec in July 2005 as part of the VERITAS acquisition, where he held the position of
Executive Vice President, Global Services. Prior to VERITAS, he was a partner at McKinsey &
Company, the management consulting firm.
LogMeIns success offers a unique example of how a new generation of technology companies can
simultaneously capitalize on consumer, small business and enterprise demand, said Hughes. I look
forward to working with the LogMeIn team to help guide the next phase of growth for its access,
support and collaboration businesses.
Greg Hughes brings invaluable experience and insight from some of the worlds most successful
software businesses, said Michael Simon, CEO of LogMeIn. We believe that his guidance and
expertise will play a significant role in our continued growth and will be a valuable complement to
our leadership team.
Hughes will replace Dave Barrett, a General Partner at Polaris Venture Partners, who has served on
LogMeIns board of directors since 2005 and has resigned his position.
Working with the LogMeIn leadership through the companys early growth and successful IPO has been
a great, rewarding experience, said Barrett. I wish the LogMeIn team the best and will enjoy
watching the companys continued success in the future.
Dave was a key leader and early member of our board as we evolved and expanded our business from a
start-up to a recognized market leader, added Simon. We sincerely thank him for all of his contributions
to our success.
