COLUMBIA, S.C., July 30 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ –

Former Elsevier Exec Brings Extensive Sales/Marketing Expertise

Collexis, leading developer of knowledge management (KM) and discovery
software, has recently hired Darrell W. Gunter as its Executive VP/Chief
Marketing Officer.

Mr. Gunter previously worked for Elsevier, the largest publisher worldwide
of print and electronic scientific, technical and medical journals, with
offices in New York, Amsterdam, Singapore, Tokyo and Rio de Janeiro. He
served as Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for the North American
marketplace. During his tenure with Elsevier, he was consistently the highest
ranking sales director and successfully launched a new regional office for
sales and service to the academic, government and corporate markets in North,
Central and South America. Prior to that Mr. Gunter held a senior sales and
marketing position at Dow Jones Financial News Service.

Collexis CEO, William Kirkland, commented, "We are extremely happy to have
Darrell on board as our Executive VP/Chief Marketing Officer. His extensive
experience in the strategic development of new and existing businesses,
coupled with his marketing and sales background in the publishing and
information delivery industries, make him a valuable asset to our team,
especially as we prepare to launch our science portal, which will truly
connect the life science community. Among other things, the Collexis
scientific portal will profile over 5 million scientists worldwide based on
their published works, show their extended network of contacts and allow them
to interact in a way not previously available."

In his new position, Mr. Gunter is joining the executive team of a company
whose software enables researchers in government, educational institutions,
the pharmaceutical and other industries to better research an ever-increasing
body of literature, data and discoveries. Mr. Gunter said, "I am very excited
to join Collexis at this pivotal moment in time. With the number of articles
and other text sources in the millions and growing exponentially through the
Internet, standard search tools are not effective anymore. I came to Collexis
to be involved with a unique and revolutionary software engine that allows the
researcher to organize the mountains of data in front of him, turn that data
into relevant information and then use that information to gain knowledge, all
in a time-efficient and language-independent manner. The Collexis engine also
allows the researcher to relate previously unconnected information through
trend analysis. I view this as an unprecedented opportunity."

Mr. Gunter earned a degree in Business Administration from Seton Hall
University and his MBA from Lake Forest Graduate School of Management.
