BURLINGTON, Mass. – Jan 3, 2007 – Klocwork Inc., the proven leader in automated software solutions that improve software security and quality, today announced the appointment of Gwyn Fisher as its new Chief Technology Officer. Mr. Fisher brings more than 15 years of global technology experience to Klocwork where he will guide the company's technical direction and development.

"Gwyn possesses the proper blend of experience and technical vision while maintaining the 'hands-on' developer perspective that is critical for success in this position," says Mike Laginski, Klocwork president and CEO. "Combined with a wealth of international operational and technical experience, Gwyn will have an instant impact helping us build upon the strong momentum the company has established over the past several years."
