A 25-year veteran of the content and technology industry, Tansey is Chief Executive of Jobson Medical Information LLC (JMI) and has previously held leadership posts at Thomson Scientific, ISI and BRS Information Technologies.

"I am delighted to welcome Mike to the Board," said Chris Pilling, Chief Executive, Complinet. "His insight, customer focus and pioneering involvement in developments in electronic delivery will complement the strengths of our current Board, and contribute to the Company's ongoing success and vitality as market leader in the compliance sector internationally."

Pilling added: "In addition, given our compelling growth in the United States, Mike's understanding of this highly complex and regulated market will serve the Board and the Company extremely well."

Tansey's appointment comes as Complinet continues to build on a series of global successes. NASDAQ recently selected Complinet as its vendor of choice to host the newly formed exchange's rules online, and Complinet has launched a range of compliance products for the Middle East and firms involved in the region's financial services sector.

"Complinet is an extremely exciting company to be involved with," Tansey said. "It is defined by excellent people and technologies and continually demonstrates vision and true customer focus."
