TMP Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ:TMPW), the world's leading supplier of human capital solutions, including the pre-eminent Internet career portal, Monster.com(R), today announced that TMP Worldwide Executive Search has hired Martin Hewett as a Partner in the company's Global Technology Sector.

Mr. Hewett, a former senior technology executive who was also a Partner with McCray, Hewett & Associates, Inc., a high-tech executive search boutique, specializes in the placement of board directors, presidents, CEOs, COOs and CTOs.

Steven B.

And, as an executive search recruiter, he also brings to us his ability to identify those leaders who will shape tomorrow's technologies and trends."

Mr. Hewett joined Los Angeles-based McCray, Hewett & Associates, Inc. in 1998, and has successfully placed many senior technology executives across a broad range of companies in the U.S. Before entering executive search, Mr. Hewett was CEO of Enterprise Solutions Limited, a California-based software company dominant in the messaging and EDI niche market. Prior to that, he was President of Panorama Software Corporation, a firm he divested from Computer Associates at the time they acquired Legent Corporation, where he held the posts of Vice President & General Manager for the Information Integrity Division.

A native of the U.K., Mr. Hewett earned his BSEE from SW Essex Polytechnic (London) and MBA from University of Southampton after which he spent eight years with Honeywell Information Systems in London. Following Honeywell, he joined the London office of Technicon Instruments Corporation. Over the course of 15 years with Technicon, he held several senior executive positions, spending 10 years in Paris most recently as President of Technicon Information Systems and five years in Santa Clara as head of Technicon Data Systems (TDS Corp.).

Michael Allred, Head of TMP Worldwide's Global Technology Sector, said, "With more than 30 years of management experience in high technology, Martin's knowledge of this industry and network of contacts is unmatched. He is known for his successful identification and delivery of key technology executives who have had significant impact on their company's performance. I expect he will have a significant impact on our own company as well."
