On May 28, 2008, SkyPostal Networks Inc. (SPKN.OB) elected Mr. S. David Fineman to its board of directors. Mr. Fineman is a distinguished attorney and senior partner in the law firm of Fineman, Krekstein and Harris, located in Philadelphia. The law firm represents a wide variety of clients, including governmental authorities and private clients dealing with government. He has an active litigation practice, and represents clients throughout the United States, Europe and Japan.
Mr. Fineman has represented several political and business organizations during his career, and has served as counsel to various federal, state and municipal candidates and elected officials in Pennsylvania. He has served as special counsel to Pennsylvania’s Secretary of Banking and Insurance Commissioner. At a national level, he has been a member of the Industry Policy Advisory Committee, a CEO-level committee that advises the U.S. Secretary of Commerce and U.S. trade representatives on international trade. Finally, he has served on the boards of other private companies and non-profit entities.
The most valuable attribute Mr. Fineman brings to SkyPostal’s Board of Directors is that, from 1995 to 2004, he served on the U.S. Postal Service’s (USPS) Board of Governors, an appointment given him in 1995 by President Clinton. According to USPS Postmaster General and Chief Executive Officer John E. Potter, “Chairman Fineman set extraordinarily high standards for the Postal Service, and then urged us to exceed them. He guided and supported Postal Service achievement, and publicly advocated postal reform.” During Mr. Fineman’s tenure as chairman, the Postal Service moved aggressively to identify and capture opportunities to cut costs, and improve efficiency and customer service.
A review of SkyPostal’s Q1 financial results shows that the company must concentrate on two main areas. First, it must generate profitability by improving the efficiency of its operations. Second, it must continue to expand its business in Latin America. It is clear from Mr. Fineman’s experience as USPS Board of Governor Chairman and his international trade policy advisory experience that he will provide expert guidance to SkyPostal.
