IX Europe has appointed David Lister a non-executive Director, effective 1st May 2007. David William Lister, 48, was appointed Chief Information Officer of Reuters Group in 2004.

Prior to joining Reuters, David held senior IT leadership roles at Boots Group, Glaxo Wellcome and Diageo after a period of management consultancy with Coopers & Lybrand. He is a member of several IT professional bodies and consultative boards. Born in the UK he holds a degree from Edinburgh University.

Sir Anthony Cleaver, IXEurope Chairman, commented:"Following our successful flotation in April 2006 we indicated our intention to seek one or more further independent non-executive directors to provide more balance on the board and to bring relevant industry experience. I am therefore delighted that David is joining us.  He has extensive international experience in technology markets which will be of great value to the Group. In particular his many years working within large enterprise IT will help reinforce our growing success in this sector, which has grown from almost zero in 2001 to over 45% of our revenues in 2006.  We welcome David to our team and look forward to working with him."
