IJS GLOBAL NAMES GIORGIO LACCONA CHAIRMAN, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

STAMFORD, CT (July 7, 2006)--IJS Global, Inc., the fast-growing multi-modal freight forwarder, customs broker and non-vessel operating common carrier, said today that Giorgio Laccona, a 30-year logistics industry veteran, has been named Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Laccona, who is based at IJS Global’s headquarters in Stamford, CT., will oversee IJS Global’s growth and expansion, and co-ordinate its next stage of development as an established supply chain management company focused on the needs of businesses that, in a period of fierce consolidation in the logistics field, are seeking the services of a flexible and responsive service partner.

Laccona’s appointment solidifies IJS Global’s senior management structure. John Gallahan has been named CEO of the Asia-Pacific and the Americas, which includes North America. Sjoerd Van Loon, another long-time forwarding executive, has been installed as CEO of Europe, Middle East and Africa. Mickey Diaz, a 14-year logistics veteran, has joined IJS Global as Vice President, Operations and Services. Mark Atzbi, who has been IJS Global’s CFO for the past 19 months, will continue in his current role.

Prior to joining IJS Global, Laccona was President of the Italian-based forwarder Savino Del Bene USA, Inc. His career in freight forwarding began in 1976 when he joined the former Air Express International Corp. (AEI). He spent 24 years at AEI, rising to the post of Senior Vice President for the Americas in 1999. When AEI was acquired by Deutsche Post World Net in 2000, Laccona remained with the newly combined Danzas AEI Intercontinental as President and CEO for the Americas. Laccona left Danzas AEI in January 2001 to join Eagle Global Logistics as Chief Operating Officer for international operations, a position he held for two years.

IJS Global, then known as Inter-Jet Systems, Inc., was acquired in December 2004 by Brynwood Partners V L.P., as part of a strategy to build a presence in the freight forwarding industry. Inter-Jet changed its name to IJS Global in 2005.

Hendrik J. Hartong, Jr., Senior Managing Partner of Brynwood Partners, said, “We are delighted to have Giorgio Laccona head up IJS Global. He is a proven, seasoned leader, highly knowledgeable, innovative and customer-focused. These qualities will serve him well in his new position, and will benefit IJS Global as well as our customers.”

“I joined IJS Global because I am convinced there are terrific opportunities for a mid-sized, nimble player in an era where industry consolidation is creating slow-footed behemoths,” Laccona said. “We think that, in recent years, the focus on the customer has been lost as these large providers struggle with internal issues surrounding their mergers. We think it is time to recapture that focus and return to the basics. Our mission is to bring on-board highly qualified and experienced professionals to help businesses move ahead and prosper.”

Laccona added, “I am very pleased with our management structure. John Gallahan, Sjoerd Van Loon and Mickey Diaz bring decades of expertise to their new roles, and they have the resources to build competent staffs that will work closely with our customer base throughout the world.”

Earlier this week, IJS Global announced the launch of its European, Middle East and Africa operation, its most sweeping geographic expansion to date. It expects to announce plans in coming weeks to expand in Asia and on the Indian sub-continent.
