Superb Internet Expands Global Presence and Fills Key Senior Management Positions

Superb Internet Corporation, one of the oldest and most reputable web hosting companies in the world, announced today the opening of a new corporate office headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii. The company has taken up residence in the exclusive First Hawaiian Bank Tower, in the heart of Honolulu’s financial district. The move is seen as central to the company’s strategy of attracting and retaining key talent, and has already paid off with the filling of multiple key senior management positions with extremely experienced and talented individuals who will help take the company to the next level.

Mr. Haralds Jass (President and CEO) said, “We are pleased that in an era of economic uncertainty we are in a position of continued strong growth, remain profitable and are (as we always have been) 100% debt free. We are very pleased to offer our valued employees an alternative to the normal benefits associated with corporate life. The health and well-being of our employees is very important to us, and we are confident that the move to Honolulu will have a significant effect on productivity, innovation and team cohesiveness – and will also accordingly result in an even higher level of service for our customers.”

Mr. Jass continued “We are very encouraged by the calibre of the senior level executives that have decided to join us in the Aloha State”, including:
Dale Bunten, Director of Marketing with 8 years of sales and marketing experience in the web hosting industry, he has worked in senior level positions for NetNation Communications, Hostway Corporation, and Reliant Web Hosting (Canada Web Hosting).

Brian Alexander, Director of Systems Engineering, with over a decade of experience from building, directing and managing large-scale global properties for Dell.com, to managing the largest public grid computing project on the Internet.
