November 11 - Former Microsoft VP Rowland Hanson Joins NeXplore Advisory Board
Branding Mastermind Behind Microsoft Windows to Guide Business Development and Growth Strategy for NeXplore Search
NeXplore Corporation (OTC: NXPC) announced the appointment of Rowland Hanson to the NeXplore Corporation board of advisors.
Currently CEO of business strategy consulting firm The HMC Company, Mr. Hanson will draw upon his vast experience building brands and growing market share for some of the world's best known, high-growth companies to guide business development and growth initiatives for NeXplore Search (www.NeXplore.com), an innovative Web 2.0 search engine optimized for a superior end-user experience, rich-media display and social network integration.
Prior to founding The HMC Company, Mr. Hanson served as vice president of corporate communications for Microsoft, where he developed and executed the company's highly acclaimed branding strategy which included the market introduction of Microsoft's most popular product -- a graphical interface that Mr. Hanson named "Windows."
"What excites me about NeXplore Search is that the visually rich user interface engages consumers and, at the same time, reinvigorates an advertising medium that, although proven, is losing its luster as text overload leaves more and more consumers with search fatigue," said Hanson. "NeXplore Search is well-positioned to be at the forefront of the next generation of search, and I am pleased to be involved with NeXplore at such a pivotal moment. I look forward to helping the NeXplore executive team take this product and company to the next level."
"Rowland Hanson brings immense business experience, marketing insight and branding wisdom to NeXplore," said Edward Mandel, CEO of NeXplore Corporation. "His proven track record maps out perfectly with NeXplore's aggressive growth goals. Rowland's guidance will be instrumental as we move forward with strategic initiatives to accelerate popularity of NeXplore Search among consumers and drive traction of NeXplore Search among leading brand and direct-response advertisers. We are thrilled to have a professional of Rowland's caliber and distinction serving on the NeXplore advisory board."
Prior to Microsoft, Mr. Hanson served as vice president of worldwide marketing for Neutrogena Corporation, a skin care and cosmetics company that registered phenomenal growth through new product introductions and global partnering before being acquired by Johnson & Johnson.
Over the last several years, Mr. Hanson served as a consultant, CEO, president, and board of director member for several emerging companies.

Mr. Hanson was business development consultant, branding consultant, and board member of ColdHeat, a company whose proprietary material science led to the successful introduction of several new consumer small appliances.
Mr. Hanson served as a business development consultant, branding consultant, and board member of The Nautilus Group, the developer and marketer of well-known fitness brands such as Bowflex, Nautilus, Schwinn Fitness, and StairMaster.
