Wednesday, May 07, 2003

NEW YORK, NY -- ERisk, the market leader in risk and capital management solutions, today announced that Dr. David Gilbert has joined the company as president and chief executive officer. Gilbert joins ERisk at a time when regional banks are acknowledging the need for more sophisticated capital management solutions and ERisk's offerings are gaining wide acceptance.

"David has over thirty years of experience building profitable businesses and brings key insight into ERisk's core market of regional banks," said John Drzik, chairman of ERisk. "With his extensive managerial and financial experience in both start-ups and mature corporate structures, David's hire is a great sign for the future of ERisk."

Prior to joining ERisk, Gilbert was founder and CEO of Banking Decision Systems, a highly successful risk management software company serving the banking industry. Gilbert was also president and CEO of C*ATS Software, a publicly traded software firm (NASDAQ) providing risk management and trading applications to the financial sector. Gilbert most recently served as CEO and a member of the board of 401Konnect, Inc., provider of a Web-based marketplace for retirement plan brokers and benefits consultants. 

Earlier in his career, Gilbert, who holds a Ph.D. in economics from Harvard, was on the staff of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. He was subsequently assistant to the chairman and senior vice president of First Pennsylvania Corporation, the then 19th largest bank in the United States. Gilbert also acted as chairman of the board of California Federal Bank, a publicly traded (NYSE) thrift.

"Risk management is an arena to which I have devoted a major portion of my professional life. I'm excited about using those experiences to help take ERisk to the next stage in its growth.
ERisk has a one-of-a-kind enterprise risk management offering which provides significant value-added to its financial industry clients and will serve as the engine of our growth," said Gilbert.
