Additionally, while Xxxx was the CEO of Xxxxxx Xxxx Global and Financial Services, he served on the MIL Board, at that time a JV between Travellers Express and the Xxxxxx Xxxx Group, between 1997 and 2001. Xxxx was Chairman of the Board of MoneyGram France SA, a company regulated by the Banque de France; Chairman of MoneyGram France SA Internal Audit Committee; Chairman of the MIL Credit Control Committee and a Board member of various other subsidiaries around the world.

While CEO, Xxxx was responsible for Sales, Marketing, New Product Development, Finance, IT, Operations, Human Resources, Legal and Compliance within MIL.  When he became EVP, EMEAAP, he continued in the EMEAAP leadership role and focused on Sales, Marketing and Product Development growing transactions, revenue and EBITDA through an increasing send and receive network. Important achievements included:

• From 2003 to 2009 grew Gross Revenue from $122 million to $315 million; Transactions from 3.5 million to 12.5 million; Net Revenue from $67 million to $172 million; Network locations from 20,000 to 124,000;

• Successfully acquired and integrated a company in Italy, two in Spain, one in France and one in Belgium.

• Initiated and grew retail operations in France, Germany, Holland and Belgium.

• Grew the EMEAAP business from a team of 60 to over 700 employees  

In summary, Xxxx has been a dedicated asset to the business who has contributed much to MGI and the industry. I believe he has much to offer and I would recommend him to prospective employers.

Yours faithfully
