Business: George Tennet named CEO of BullGuard

Copenhagen (ANTARA News/PRNewswire-AsiaNet) - BullGuard announced today that its Board of Directors has appointed George Tennet as the Company's new Chief Executive Officer.

Mr Tennet joins BullGuard from Mobility Electronics where he held the position of Managing Director for the EMEA region. Previously, Mr Tennet was Head of Global Sales at Sennheiser Communication and Vice President Sales & Marketing EMEA at GN Jabra where he masterminded the rapid growth of the Jabra brand across his region.

BullGuard's products have a solid consumer value and this fact, along with our new Gaming and Mobile editions, gives us unique opportunities to expand our distribution and business partner base globally."

Mr Tennet paid special attention to mobile-based security, a market which is forecasted to see a significant rise in demand in the next 3-5 years as mobile internet usage increases.

"BullGuard is in a great position to benefit from this market growth and I expect our distribution channels to expand in line with it."
