Neohapsis Recruits New Leadership: Brooke Paul

    CHICAGO, May 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Neohapsis, a leading information
 security and forensics consultancy, announced today that Brooke A. Paul has
 assumed the role of president and CEO since starting on May 1st.
 Previously, Paul was Senior Vice President and CISO at American Financial
 Group (AFG), a Fortune 500 insurance company based in Cincinnati, Ohio.
     Paul, who has over 20 years of experience in the information security
 community, is perhaps best known for his writing through Network Computing
 and Secure Enterprise magazines as well as his public speaking. Most
 recently Paul was the keynote speaker at Microsoft's CSO Summit in Redmond,
 WA.
     "We are very pleased to have identified and recruited someone as
 uniquely well qualified as Brooke Paul to be my successor," notes E. Kelly
 Hansen, the current president and CEO of Neohapsis. "When it comes to
 leading a professional services firm, it's critical to work with someone
 who is a credible expert in the field as well as a consummate business
 professional. We are exceptionally fortunate to have found both qualities
 in Brooke." Hansen will be staying on at Neohapsis as a member of the board
 of directors.
     Originally hired to act as the head of security for AFG, Paul's
 business and leadership skills rapidly resulted in advancement into the
 ranks of senior management. A veteran of three start-up ventures, he has
 strong experience taking small organizations and growing services to meet
 market demands. A visionary that is often ahead of the curve, he has a
 consistent track record of building and managing highly performing teams to
 grow revenue.
     "Identifying someone who would be both a solid cultural fit and a
 strong leader for Neo was critical," notes Greg Shipley, CTO of Neohapsis.
 "Both Kelly and I have known Brooke for many years. We have a great deal of
 confidence in him as a person and are looking forward to seeing Neohapsis
 grow under his leadership."
