SAN JOSE, Calif. -- WindSpring, Inc., a data miniaturization innovator, has appointed Marios Zenios and Don McPherson to its board of directors. The two executives join WindSpring as the company expands its presence in mobile wireless devices and GPS mapping solutions.

Zenios brings more than 20 years of automotive, telematics and communications experience with Motorola. As a senior Motorola executive, he established the company as the global telematics leader, subsequently consolidated Motorola's Global automotive operations, and delivered growth and profitability. He is currently President and CEO of Alto Consulting Inc., a privately held start-up, providing advisory, C level, consulting for companies in the telecommunications and automotive markets.

"WindSpring is poised to grow with leadership technology that immediately expands and extends the functionality of communication devices and solutions, in a cost effective way," said Marios Zenios. "I look forward to working closely with WindSpring's talented and experienced management team during this strategic period in the company's growth."

Prior to J.F. Mackie, Don was an Investment Advisor for National Bank Financial Corporation, and previously for First Marathon Securities Ltd.

"We're delighted to announce the addition of these two exceptional individuals to our board of directors," said Robert F. Mitro, WindSpring CEO and Chairman. "With his extensive industry experience, Marios brings strategic and operational insight to both our near and long term challenges. Don's in-depth financial background and diverse experience adds another critical dimension to the board. We look forward to his guidance as the company continues to grow."

WindSpring's patented Data Miniaturization Technology (DMT(TM)) shrinks and transforms large mapping and data files into a Micro Data Format (MDF(TM)). The MDF format allows the data files to retain all original data performance attributes while enabling high-speed access and full manipulation of data, including high-speed seek, search, edit and display in the miniaturized state. In addition, MDF is uniquely suited for space-constrained applications such as GPS Navigation and mobile phones, where large amounts of data can slow system performance and data access.

By transforming data files to MDF, the effective storage capacity of mobile and wireless devices can be substantially increased without increasing overall hardware costs, thereby avoiding costly hardware additions. MDF also improves device reliability and performance by eliminating the need for more expensive and unreliable mini-hard drive solutions.
