specializing in physical and logical security solutions, today announced
the appointment of George E. Birnbaum to the Board of Directors, effective

Mr. Birnbaum is an international political consultant and entrepreneur,
with over 20 years of experience developing and implementing successful
campaign strategies for politicians around the world. To Viscount, he
brings years of entrepreneurial, business management and political
expertise, which will be instrumental as he helps guide the Company on a
path toward continued growth.
'George is an insightful advisor and results-driven executive,' said Dennis
Raefield, CEO and president of Viscount. 'His experience advising
politicians and companies in highly-competitive, fast-paced environments
will help Viscount strategically navigate the physical access control space
and help grow the Company's already rising sales.'
Since entering the political arena in 1992, Mr. Birnbaum has held numerous
positions advising campaigns for congressmen, senators and world leaders.
His work on various congressional races contributed to victories in several
jurisdictions, including North Carolina, Florida and Virginia.
After serving as the deputy political director and deputy director of
survey research under National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman
Alfonse D'Amato, Mr. Birnbaum went on to consult for Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu's campaign for reelection in 1999. He went on to serve
as the Prime Minister's chief of staff for nearly two years.
In the private sector, Mr. Birnbaum founded an international political
consulting firm with legendary American conservative political consultant
Arthur Finkelstein in 2003. Their partnership is credited with the
elections of Prime Ministers, Chancellors and Presidents in jurisdictions
spanning throughout the Middle East and Europe. Most recently, Mr. Birnbaum
helped form a social media marketing company focused on helping political
campaigns gain traction through digital channels.
'After working closely with many politicians and executives over the years,
I understand the complex security needs of today's government
organizations,' said Mr. Birnbaum. 'Viscount is a leader in the protection
of people and property, and I'm looking forward to leveraging my network of
relationships and knowledge of decision-makers within governments and
companies to help the Company achieve its business objectives.'
