"Bart comes to us with a perspective and skill set which are well-suited to the requirements of TMP Worldwide at this time," said Mr. Treacy. "I am very excited to have him on board and I look forward to working with him as TMP continues to expand its business."

"In recent years, our company has seen itself almost triple its size," said Andrew J. McKelvey, Chairman and CEO of TMP Worldwide. "As TMP moves into the next phase of its growth, we are fortunate to recruit someone like Bart to help us maintain our superb track record of financial stability."

"Complementing Bart as CFO is the wealth of knowledge and experience Roxane brings to her new role as senior vice president of mergers and integration," continued Mr. McKelvey. "Her proven ability to facilitate the integration of our past acquisitions is invaluable and, with her expanded duties, she will continue to play an integral role in TMP's continued success."
