NoblePeak Vision Hires New CEO for Next Phase of Business Development



    NoblePeak Vision (www.noblepeak.com) announced today that Mike
    Decelle has joined the company as President and Chief Executive
    Officer. Decelle takes the reins from co-founder Cliff King, bringing
    25 years of experience to NoblePeak with demonstrated leadership
    capabilities and success in both startup and large public companies.
    King moves into the Chief Operating Officer role to focus on new
    product development and manufacturing as NoblePeak rapidly approaches
    market introduction of its TriWave(R) camera cores in 2008.

    "The initial build of our TriWave(R) technology evaluation cameras
    has sold out" said Cliff King cofounder and COO of NoblePeak." It is
    critical that we now capitalize on this momentum by successfully
    introducing our new products and bringing our VGA based camera cores
    to production in 2008. The addition of Mike strengthens our team,
    accelerating our early success and relationships with our major
    security camera and military OEM lead customers."

    Decelle brings a strong track record in both technology and
    product development which began at Bell Laboratories. He has extensive
    sales and business development experience in established large
    companies such as Lucent Technologies where his responsibilities
    included managing major accounts and lines of business worth more than
    $2B. Over the last six years Decelle has served as President and CEO
    for several optical technology start up companies and recently led the
    successful sale of Apogee Photonics to CyOptics.

    "Mike´s proven track record of both large and startup company
    leadership made him the perfect fit for NoblePeak at a time when the
    company is rapidly transitioning from an early-stage venture to a
    scale business," said Stan Reiss member of the board at NoblePeak and
    general partner at Matrix Partners. "Mike will be able to build on the
    early success of the company to accelerate and ensure successful new
    product introduction, manufacturing ramp, and revenue growth with
    major customers in the security, defense, and consumer markets."

    "I am thrilled to be joining NoblePeak Vision at such an exciting
    and critical phase of the company´s development" said Mike Decelle,
    NoblePeak´s new President and CEO. "NoblePeak´s TriWave(R) technology
    has the potential to revolutionize the market for night vision
    imaging, rendering costly legacy approaches obsolete. I´m looking
    forward to working with Cliff King and the outstanding investor group
    as we take NoblePeak into the next phase of its development. "
