For Immediate Release
Inso Corporation Announces Changes to Board of Directors
BOSTON, December 2, 1999 Inso Corporation (NASDAQ: INSO) today
announced changes to its Board of Directors. Kirby A. Mansfield, the Company's
President and Chief Operating Officer, has been elected to the Board, effective
immediately, replacing John Guttag, who is retiring. In addition, Ray Stata
will leave the Board effective January 31, 2000, the end of the Company's
fiscal year.
Dr. Guttag is Department Head of the Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and has been a
member of the Company's Board since May 1996. Mr. Stata, Chairman of the
Board of Analog Devices, Inc., has been a member of the Company's Board since
March 1994.
"It is my pleasure to welcome Kirby Mansfield to Inso's Board of Directors,"
said Stephen O. Jaeger, Inso Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Since his
election as President and COO in March of this year, Kirby has provided the
leadership and operating skills that have been critical in our recent success.
At the same time, we are very sorry to lose John Guttag and Ray Stata. John
and Ray are extremely talented individuals who have provided excellent
guidance. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank John and Ray for
their years of service."
"I have enjoyed my years on Inso's Board, but I felt that, with the Company's
momentum and focus, now was the appropriate time for me to leave," said Dr.
Guttag. "Inso is poised for success in exciting markets, and with my increased
responsibilities and travel at MIT, I realized that I would no longer be able
to devote the time and energy necessary to participate in helping Inso
achieve that success."
"It is with regret that I will leave Inso's Board at the end of January," said
Mr. Stata. "However, the current management has put Inso on a successful
course, and I felt that the time was right for me to retire."
