Ashburn, Virginia - May 7, 2009 - The Human Productivity Lab (HPL), the world's leading independent telepresence analysis, research and consultancy firm, today announced that LeMoyne Zacherl is joining the Human Productivity Lab Consulting Practice with a finance focus on international data networking, managed services and on carrier finance, business planning and financial modeling.

Bringing a superb understanding and wealth of experience in the financial aspects of the communications industry, LeMoyne was part of the team that led SAVVIS Communications' successful $408 million Initial Public Offering. With CFO experience at both privately and publicly-held companies, LeMoyne offers HPL's clients seasoned financial planning and business management capabilities, including extensive financial expertise.
