We are confident that ClientLogic will benefit from Harvey`s leadership and strategic insight."
Mr. Golub stated, "I am looking forward to working with Mark Briggs, Tom Harbison and the rest of the team at ClientLogic. It has rapidly grown from a single call center in 1998 to one of the largest customer management outsourcers in the industry. ClientLogic has tremendous opportunity for continued growth and I look forward to helping it achieve its goals."
Mr. Golub joined American Express in 1984 as President and Chief Executive Officer of IDS Financial Services, now American Express Financial Advisors. Prior to joining IDS, he was a senior partner with McKinsey and Co.
