The Board of Directors of Top Level Domain Holdings Ltd (AIM: TLDH.L) is pleased to announce that it has appointed Antony Van Couvering, formerly Chief Operating Officer of TLDH, as Chief Executive Officer.

Fred Krueger, Chairman, commented:

 

"With the news that ICANN has established a timeline for the introduction of new generic top-level domains, TLDH is now increasing its operational focus. Antony's appointment has long been foreseen and we are very pleased to be making this step. Antony's deep experience in the domain field and proven success as an entrepreneur and manager make this move a natural evolution in our company."

 

Antony Van Couvering added:

 

"I am very pleased at the trust placed in me by our Board and deeply aware of the responsibility at a time of historic opportunity for the Company. We are ready to compete and innovate in the generic top-level domain space. With ICANN's timeline established, our focus moves from policy discussions to executing our strategy."

 

Mr. von Veltheim, as chief executive of Minds + Machines Germany, has been working on emerging top-level domain projects with entrepreneurs as well as regional and municipal governments throughout Europe. His appointment to Director of European Operations will bring an on-the-ground European perspective to the Company, and demonstrates the importance of European operations to the Company's overall strategy.
