"We are pleased to announce Dan Currie's new appointment. This promotion is in recognition of the impressive accomplishments Asurion has achieved in Asia since starting out last year, as reflected by the successful customer acquisition in Korea and the budding partnerships Dan and his team have forged.

We are confident that under Dan's outstanding leadership, Asurion is on track to establish a strong footprint in Asia Pacific," said Kevin Taweel, Chairman of Asurion.
Responded Dan Currie, "Despite Asurion only beginning business efforts in Asia last year, the company has made great headway in the region. It is encouraging to note that Asian carriers are quick to recognize Asurion's value proposition - reducing churn, improving customer satisfaction and increasing profitability - which is testament to the team's success in the past year. We are optimistic that 2004 and beyond will be even better for Asurion."
