Martin Henricson joins EPiServer as CEO, allowing planned promotion of current CEO Peter Larsson to Executive Chairman of the BoardMartin

Chicago, IL, February 12, 2010 -- Henricson, 49 years of age, joins EPiServer on February 12th as CEO in preparation for an Initial Public Offering (IPO). Prior to EPiServer, Martin was CEO for Bure Equity and Tradedoubler, both public companies. During Mr. Henricson’s tenure as CEO for Tradedoubler from 2002 to 2007, the company grew to become the on-line marketing leader in Europe, with revenues over 3 billion SEK.  He also led the successful IPO of the company.

Mr. Henricson replaces Peter Larsson, who has been appointed to Executive Chairman of the Board at EPiServer. The former Chairman of the Board, Hans Otterling, will become a member of the board.

”Peter has done a tremendous job for EPiServer as CEO.  The goals which Northzone, Amadeus and Monterro set for the company when making the investment in 2007 have been achieved. Upon our entry, we also set the long-term strategy for EPiServer and as planned Peter now takes an active position as Executive Chairman of the Board,” says Hans Otterling, retiring chairman of the Board.

EPiServer is the fastest growing company within Web Content Management (WCM) in the world. The company has increased its revenues with an average of 35 percent per year over the past five years and has grown twice as fast as the WCM market in general.  License revenue growth for 2009 was 46 percent. During the past two years, the company has successfully completed a geographic expansion, expanded the product portfolio, dramatically grown the partner network and made an investment in marketing.

“I am very excited to have Martin Henricson join as CEO. Martin’s proven experience with growth companies will strengthen EPiServer and ensure that we continue to expand rapidly and faster than the market in general. Simultaneously, Martin brings valuable experience from running public companies, to our benefit in preparation for our initial public offering on Nasdaq OMX in Stockholm, said Peter Larsson, appointed Executive Chairman of the Board.

“It is with great enthusiasm that I join EPiServer as CEO. It is a very exciting company, now entering into a new phase of becoming a public company. Initially, my main objective will be to ensure that EPiServer continues to grow rapidly and profitably, said Martin Henricson, CEO.
