Company Press Release

New York, June 29, 2010 – Corporate Insight, the leader in competitive intelligence for the financial services industry, has announced the promotion of Michael Ellison, 38, to the position of company president. Formerly the executive vice president of Corporate Insight, in his new role, M. Ellison will lead the development of new initiatives to grow the company and expand its service offering.

M.

Following the success of “e-Monitor,” the firm began covering the mutual fund, banking and credit card industries, and is now the recognized leader in competitive financial services research.

I attribute much, if not most, of this prosperity to Michael's hard work, creativity and perseverance, and in his new role as president I am sure he will accomplish even more.”
