Nakina Systems Names Jacquie Arthur CFO

OTTAWA--(Business Wire)--
Nakina Systems, a leading provider of multi-vendor, multi-domain network
management solutions, today announced the appointment of Jacquie Arthur to the
position of chief financial officer. "Jacquie has remarkable entrepreneurial
credentials," says Nakina CEO Jay Borden. "With two IPOs, six follow-on
offerings, and over fifty M & A transactions, Jacquie adds great depth of
financial experience to our team at a time when we are poised for substantial
growth."

For the past 18 years, Arthur has worked for high tech companies in the
software, hardware, and semiconductor sectors. From 2002 to 2005, she was CFO of
Aprisma and part of a team that turned the company around and sold it, providing
a very high return to Gores Technology Group, the private equity sponsor. She
then spent three years at Monotype Imaging, joining the company just after it
was acquired by TA Associates. She restructured over $200 million in debt,
acquired companies in Hong Kong and Germany, and took the company public in
2007. She led both Aprisma and Monotype through successful SOX implementations.

"I am very happy to join Nakina at a time when the company is being recognized
as the clear leader in the delivery of a must-have telecommunications network
management solution," says Arthur. "We have a great management team, we are well
financed, and we are prepared for rapid growth."

Arthur`s early career was spent at British Petroleum in Europe and the US. In
1986, she moved to Dennison Manufacturing and led the process to clear the FTC
when the company was sold to Avery in 1990.

Arthur has served on the advisory boards of UMass Boston and Allendale
Insurance. She also served on the Board of BankNorth, prior to its acquisition
by People`s Heritage. She has an undergraduate degree in economics and
engineering from City University London and is a chartered accountant.
