TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)—July 13, 2004--Segmentz, Inc. (AMEX: SZI - News), a provider of transportation and logistics management services to a select client base, ranging from mid-sized to Fortune 100 companies, today appointed Andrew J. Norstrud as Chief Financial Officer, effective July 13, 2004. Mr. Norstrud replaces John S. Flynn, who will continue in his capacity as President.

Mr. Norstrud joined Segmentz from Grant Thornton LLP where he served as assurance manager, specializing in fast growth, middle-market companies. Previously, Mr. Norstrud worked for PricewaterhouseCoopers. Mr. Norstrud has experience with the redesigning and implementation of accounting process and procedures to streamline reporting while also improving financial controls. Mr. Norstrud earned a Master of Accounting with a systems emphasis from the University of Florida and is a Florida licensed Certified Public Accountant.

"Andrew joined Segmentz, Inc. recently but has rapidly proven himself to be a highly proactive, result-driven and process-oriented executive manager, with strong accounting, problem solving, administration, organizational, and communication skills," commented Chief Executive Officer Allan Marshall. “Andrew’s strong accounting knowledge and background will continue to strengthen Segmentz, Inc. executive management team and we are confident Andrew will be instrumental in the ongoing execution of our growth strategy.” 

Mr. Flynn commented, “The accelerated pace of growth Segmentz has experienced these past two quarters has made it impossible for one person to handle the split role. Splitting the roles of President and CFO will enhance our ability to achieve Company goals and add needed depth to our executive management team.”
