Stephanie Kelly Joins CDC Software as Senior Vice President and Head of Global Human Resources.

ATLANTA -- CDC Software, a wholly owned subsidiary of CDC Corporation (NASDAQ: CHINA) and a provider of enterprise software applications and services, announced today that Stephanie A. Kelly has joined the company as senior vice president of Human Resources.

Ms. Kelly's responsibilities include oversight of the human resource function throughout the organization to include managing the rapid global growth that CDC Software is experiencing. Ms. Kelly will report directly to the CEO and will be based in the company's U.K. office.

"I have charged Stephanie with creating a world class HR practice that fully integrates all of our employees into our corporate culture. In doing so, we will ensure an ongoing commitment to the success of our customers, particularly as the organization continues on its path of rapid growth," said Peter Yip, CEO of CDC Software. "CDC Software is positioned for accelerated growth, both through organic expansion within our targeted vertical industries, and through strategic acquisitions. Stephanie will play a critical role in achieving our objectives, particularly in light of our desire to become a stand-alone company. Stephanie is an accomplished HR leader with the experience we need. She is another great example of our ability to attract the top talent in our industry today."

Ms. Kelly has more than 15 years of experience in human resources, most recently serving for the last six years as global vice president of human capital for SSA Global. During her very successful tenure at SSA Global, she oversaw the rapid and cost-effective restructuring of 14 acquisitions ranging from regional companies up to global organizations with offices in more than 30 countries. Ms. Kelly was a key member of the pre-acquisition due diligence team, focusing on minimizing financial liabilities and assessing the management depth of acquired companies. As acquisitions were completed, Ms. Kelly and her team created and executed timely integration plans including office consolidations and standardization of procedures and systems for reviews and assessments, training and benefits. Ms. Kelly was also a key member of the executive management team that took the company public in 2005.

Prior to her service at SSA Global, Ms. Kelly's experience included serving as an international human resource advisor for PAREXEL International, one of the largest biopharmaceutical outsourcing organizations in the world. Ms. Kelly holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Studies from Sheffield Hallam University and is a chartered member of the Institute of Personnel and Development and gained a Senior Professional in Human Resources (SHRM) designation.

"I am pleased to be given this opportunity," said Ms. Kelly. "I look forward to working with the global HR team and executive management to further develop CDC Software's corporate culture and drive change in the organization through the improvement of business processes and effective management of organizational talent."
