Riverwood Solutions CEO Matt Ryan Selected as 2009 "Pro to Know" by Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine

MENLO PARK, CA, Mar 24 (MARKET WIRE) --
Riverwood Solutions, the innovator in managed supply chain services,
today announced that CEO Matt Ryan has been selected by Supply & Demand
Chain Executive magazine as a 2009 Provider Pro to Know. The award
recognizes individuals who have personally helped clients during the
current economic downturn by assisting them in managing risk in the
supply chain, providing competitive advantage and delivering value to the
bottom line.

"All too often, achieving a world-class supply chain is hampered by
partners' and customers' failure to openly communicate information. The
inefficiency, waste, additional lead time and excess inventory driven into
the supply chain by withholding or positioning information in a particular
light accounts for more than 35% of all supply chain performance issues
and as much as 15% of total supply chain costs," said Ryan, CEO of
Riverwood Solutions. "I am committed to helping clients create
responsive, flexible supply chains and am honored to be recognized by
Supply & Demand Chain Executive for my work."

With a wealth of international operating experience, Ryan has earned a
reputation for establishing and running world-class, global operations
and has had full responsibility for operations in more than 20 countries
on four continents. Prior to founding Riverwood Solutions, Ryan served as
executive vice president of Worldwide Operations, Logistics and Services
for Flextronics International.

"Ryan has distinguished himself as a respected leader in the competitive
world of global electronics manufacturing," said Andrew K. Reese, editor,
Supply & Demand Chain Executive. "His nearly 20 years in the industry,
combined with his proven results of streamlining and optimizing clients'
supply chains through the Hybrid Outsourced Services Team model, has
earned him a place on this year's Provider Pros listing."

The full listing of the 2009 Pros to Know is available in the
February/March 2009 issue of Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine and
ebook, and on the web site: www.SDCExec.com.
