For Immediate Release
Iomega Corporation Appoints New Director
SAN DIEGO,
November 8, 2004 –
Iomega Corporation (NYSE: IOM) today announced that
its Board of Directors has appointed Jonathan S. Huberman
to serve as a member of the Company's Board.
Mr. Huberman is currently general partner and co-portfolio
manager of Caliber Capital Partners ("Caliber"), a
hedge fund focused on making investments in small and
mid-cap companies. Prior to joining Caliber
in October 2004, Mr. Huberman served as general partner
of Idanta Partners Ltd. ("Idanta"), a private venture
capital partnership making strategic investments in
public and private enterprises primarily in the high
technology sector. Prior to joining Idanta in
1995, Mr. Huberman was a case leader with the
Boston Consulting Group ("BCG"), a strategy
management consulting firm. At BCG, he focused
on the high technology and consumer products industries
and advised clients on issues such as corporate and
business unit strategy, marketing strategy, new product
development and reengineering. From 1988 to
1990, he was a marketing manager at Cray Research,
Inc.
Mr. Huberman previously served on Iomega's Board of
Directors from 1999 to May 2004. As Idanta was
divesting its position in Iomega common stock in 2003
and early 2004, Idanta's policies obliged Mr. Huberman
leave the Board. Thereafter, he joined Caliber
and the Iomega Board of Directors sought his return
to the Board.
"Mr. Huberman's expertise in the areas of technology
innovation, market trends and strategic planning will
be of significant benefit to the Company, and we are
very pleased to have him re-join the Board of Directors," said
Stephen David, Chairman of the Board.
