AOL Founder Jim Kimsey Joins Triple Canopy's Board of Directors


Herndon, VA — October 23, 2006 — James V. Kimsey, the founding CEO of America Online, Inc. (AOL), has joined Triple Canopy's board of directors. He will be serving on the board along with the company's co-founders, Tom Katis and Matt Mann, and Triple Canopy's former CEO, Ignacio "Iggy" Balderas.

A native Washingtonian, Kimsey is best known for creating AOL. He currently serves as Chairman Emeritus and focuses his energies on new business challenges, philanthropy and personal diplomacy through the creation of the Kimsey Foundation.

"Jim is a visionary and will be a valuable asset to our team," said Triple Canopy CEO Lee Van Arsdale. "As Triple Canopy continues to grow and diversify, Jim's contributions will be immeasurable."

Kimsey was attracted to Triple Canopy due to its demonstrated operational excellence and its success within the growing security market. He also sees a lot of synergy with Triple Canopy and his own professional background as a military veteran and entrepreneur.

A West Point graduate, Kimsey served three combat tours as an Airborne Ranger, including two tours in Vietnam. He currently holds presidential appointments to the West Point Board of Visitors and the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees. In 2001, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell appointed Kimsey Chairman of the International Commission of Missing Persons.
