Maritz Learning Announces New Management Team November 29, 2001 Fenton, MO - Maritz Learning (www.maritzlearning.com), a leading provider of custom training, e-learning and performance management and improvement solutions, today announced a new management team. Launched November 27 as a new business unit of Maritz Inc., a $1.3 billion global provider of performance improvement, research and travel services, Maritz Learning develops and delivers training and development programs that improve the business performance of sales and service organizations. Brian Carlin, who leads Maritz Learning as President, brings two decades of experience in the software development industry. Carlin most recently served as president, CEO and chief technology officer of Librix Learning, a provider of e-learning services and technology that Maritz acquired last month. Since 1995, Carlin has been involved with clients in designing, developing and implementing learning solutions and was the chief architect of the LIBRIX Performance Management System(tm), a learning management system ranked highly for customer satisfaction in a recent industry study. Prior to his role at Librix, Carlin led Cornerstone Solutions Group, a software company he founded in 1989. Kord Kutchins, who joins Maritz Learning's leadership as Vice President of Strategic Solutions, served for the past year as division vice president and director of Maritz Learning Systems. With a broad range of experience in e-learning, corporate training and professional development that included key roles with Analysis & Technology, EMC Corporation and VSI Holdings, Kutchins most recently led the start-up company Intrinsigo, a company he co-founded that specialized in delivering interactive learning content on handheld computing devices. Also joining the Maritz Learning management team are Scott Matthews, Vice President of Marketing and Communications, and Chuck Aranda, Vice President of Sales. Matthews, who directed Librix Learning's marketing and business development activities before its acquisition by Maritz, has worked in the technology industry for 20 years, including 7 years with Apple Computer. In 1994 Matthews and Aranda co-founded Infosource, Inc., which merged with Cornerstone Solutions Group in 1996 to develop and market learning management technology. Aranda, also a 20-year veteran of the technology industry, played key marketing and sales management roles with both Apple and IBM and most recently served as Librix Learning's vice president of sales. Steve Korbecki joins Maritz Learning's management team as Vice President of Channel Sales. Over his past 12 years with Maritz, Korbecki has held several sales and marketing management positions, working with clients such as General Electric, Chrysler, Lucent and Mercury Marine. Korbecki brings to Maritz Learning an expertise in developing company-wide programs that improve business and employee performance through a combination of communications and feedback, as well as rewards and recognition systems. Other key members of the Maritz Learning management team include Donald Fogarty, Director of Research and Development, and Mark Peterman, Vice President of Client Services. Serving as product manager with Librix Learning for the past 3 years, Fogarty had previously spent 10 years with Boeing as a Flight Control Engineer specializing in flight simulations. Before joining Maritz Learning, Peterman was Librix Learning's director of client services. Peterman's experience also includes management and engineering positions with Abbott Laboratories and Monsanto. "Maritz Learning has the opportunity for major expansion in the training market because of its unparalleled level of expertise and experience in improving business performance through learning and performance improvement services," said Carlin. "I look forward to helping our organization seize this opportunity. Moreover, I'm delighted to be working with a management team that brings such extensive experience and proven leadership in the learning and technology sectors."
