TrenStar CEO Greg Cronin Resigns

TrenStar's president and chief executive officer, Greg Cronin, resigned today from the leading mobile asset management company to pursue other professional interests.

Alex Brown, formerly a senior executive and main board member of TrenStar's largest shareholder, Trencor Limited, has taken over as executive chairman of TrenStar.

Cronin served as TrenStar's president and chief executive officer from September 2001 through the present, a period of sound growth for the mobile asset management company. Cronin will remain as a special advisor to the TrenStar board and will assist the company and its chairman as required to ensure a smooth transition.

"I am extremely proud of TrenStar's accomplishments over the past few years, and of the TrenStar employees who are behind these successes," Cronin said. "TrenStar is well-positioned for continued success, based on its market leadership in mobile asset management, its revenue growth acceleration and its talented management team."

"Greg has done an excellent job in creating a top-notch mobile asset management company," said Jim Hoelter, TrenStar's chairman of the board. "While we understand his decision, he will be missed by employees and all those associated with TrenStar. We are pleased that Greg will be available to assist the company during this transition phase and beyond," Hoelter added.

"During his tenure, TrenStar has grown from $2 million in revenue to more than $51 million in 2004 and with what is now a commanding leadership position in the market for mobile asset management," said Hoelter. "Greg has also built a solid management team that has led TrenStar through this period of intense growth and change. We thank Greg for his leadership and we have the highest level of confidence in the entire team's ability to continue to execute on the company's goals, including driving sales growth of our mobile asset management solution."
