COLUMBUS, OHIO, Apr. 20 -/E-Wire/-- The board of directors of eGovNet, Inc., the Columbus, Ohio-based provider of e-government solutions and consulting services, announced today that David M. Cornell has been appointed the company's new president and chief executive officer.

Cornell has extensive experience in teaming business and government, having been the founder, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of Cornell Companies, Inc. (ticker:CRN), one of the largest private corrections companies in the world. Cornell replaces Timothy R. Bartlett, founder of eGovNet, who will now become the company's chief business development strategist.

"We are extremely pleased that David Cornell will be leading eGovNet into its next growth phase,' stated Earl Gallegos, chairman of eGovNet's board of directors. "David is a leader and entrepreneur in the truest sense, and his 43 years of executive experience will help grow and manage this e-government pioneer into a real market leader,' added Gallegos.
