Success of ShoZu Cell Phone Image Sharing Service Prompts Appointment; Langkamp to Shepherd Company’s Product Management and Strategic Roadmap

London UK, 03 Apr 06 - Cognima, the effortless mobile imaging company, today announced that Steve Langkamp, a senior executive with substantial wireless industry experience, has joined Cognima as chief operating officer, a new position. Langkamp is expected to play a major role in developing Cognima’s social software strategies, including the continuing evolution of Cognima’s successful one-click cell phone image sharing service, ShoZu.

Langkamp comes to Cognima from Magic4 Ltd., a leading mobile phone messaging software provider acquired in 2004 by Openwave Systems. As Magic4’s chief operating officer, Langkamp helped the startup become the global leader in its category by consistently meeting the time-to-market requirements of its handset manufacturer customers. After the company’s acquisition by Openwave, Langkamp was named Openwave’s vice president and general manager of client products and services; and led the merger of its worldwide client services organization.

Prior to his time with Magic4/Openwave, Langkamp was vice president/mobile solutions for Euronet Worldwide, one of the world’s leading financial transaction processors. He also served as executive director of sales and marketing at Eurotel Praha, a unit of US West-Media One Group, and as general manager-business markets and product management at One 2 One (now T-Mobile UK).

“Steve Langkamp has a profound understanding of the mobile services marketplace.  His executive experience with US, UK and Czech mobile operators will be of real value to Cognima in the months ahead,” said Mark Bole, CEO. “We look forward to Steve’s contributions in product management and marketing, as well as in the development of a long-term strategic and technology roadmap that will further deliver the potential of ShoZu.”

“In ShoZu, Cognima has created a breakthrough service with the potential to remake wireless content sharing,” stated Langkamp. “Its one click convenience is now the mobile industry benchmark for ease of use. I’m excited to work alongside Mark and the rest of the Cognima team as we leverage the initial success of ShoZu in this hotly competitive market.”
