Lise Jonasen appointed new MD of HiQ's Danish subsidiary

Lise Jonasen has been appointed as the new Managing Director of HiQ's subsidiary
HiQ Wise A/S following the decision by the current MD Gilbert Jensen to leave
the company.  Lise Jonasen has been working in the consultancy industry and the
telecom sector for a number of years. Gilbert Jensen will continue to be
involved with HiQ as part of an advisory board.

- I came to HiQ a little more than a year ago and have since then taken part in
the development of our Danish subsidiary together with Gilbert Jensen and all
the skilled employees of HiQ Wise, a very stimulating and enjoyable task. HiQ
Wise works with world-leading clients within telecom and other industries and we
have the most skilled consultants in the market when it comes to advanced
systems development and project management. Ahead of us lies the challenge to
continue our growth and profitability in the Danish market and broadening our
client base further. I am looking forward to continue developing HiQ in Denmark
as a Managing Director, says Lise Jonasen, newly appointed Managing Director of
HiQ Wise A/S. 

Lise Jonasen has been working as sales and consultant manager at HiQ Wise for
the past year. Prior to that she held a number of positions as manager in the
consultancy industry and the telecom sector. Among others she has been working
as sales director and business unit manager at Siemens A/S for seven years. 

- I was one of the founders of WISE Network in 1998, a company that was acquired
by HiQ in 2000. As a part of the HiQ group we have successfully managed to
establish HiQ Wise as one of the leading consultant firms in Denmark, with
strong relations to the large telecom and software companies. I am extremely
proud to have been part of HiQ during a fun and stimulating journey for the past
seven years. Now is a good time for me to move on and I look forward to seeing
HiQ in Denmark continue developing under the leadership of Lise Jonasen, says
Gilbert Jensen, departing MD of HiQ Wise A/S. 
- Gilbert Jensen has done a very good and important job for HiQ in developing
our Danish operations and ensure that we have a strong platform to continue grow
in the Danish market.  Ever since we acquired Wise in 2000 he has been a
valuable asset to our management team. I wish him all the best in future
challenges. Lise Jonasen knows HiQ from her earlier role as sales and consultant
manager and she has very good knowledge of the business and a strong network in
our industry in Denmark. She will take on the role as MD of HiQ Wise in a very
good way, says Lars Stugemo, president and CEO of HiQ.
