Press Release Body = ThoughtWorks, Inc., a global information technology
professional services firm, today announced that its current President, Trevor
Mather, has also been appointed Chief Executive Officer. Mather succeeds Roy
Singham, the company's founder, who remains Executive Chairman and a full-time
employee, involved in the business day-to-day though increasingly focused on new and
emerging technologies.



"Since Trevor joined ThoughtWorks six years ago, his leadership has been a driving
force behind our success and growth," said Singham, 52. "From building our UK
operations into a market leader during the worst period in the history of the IT
services industry to overseeing our growth into a transnational company, Trevor has
demonstrated an invaluable combination of vision, energy, and practical ability to
deliver." Headquartered in Chicago, ThoughtWorks has 800 professionals serving
clients around the world.



"I founded ThoughtWorks 14 years ago to become a home for the best and brightest
knowledge workers in the world. We're revolutionizing corporate IT, have become the
industry leader in practical innovation, and we've built a track record of
repeatedly delivering value to our customers. Trevor's personal integrity and
absolute focus on doing the right thing by our customers has given me confidence
that it's the right time for this move. It also allows me to focus on my passion -
driving step changes in the way IT delivers value to business through the use of new
and emerging technologies - while supporting Trevor and the operation of our
business." Singham added.



Mather, 39, joined ThoughtWorks in 2001 as Managing Director of ThoughtWorks LTD in
the United Kingdom. He built the UK business to over 100 people in two years and
was named President and Chief Operating Officer in 2004. In that role, he drove the
construction of ThoughtWorks' global delivery model with a focus on building its
India operations.



"I've been privileged to learn from a true visionary and entrepreneur like Roy,"
said Mather. "We have a fantastic opportunity in front of us to be the leading
mid-sized IT services firm in the world. We're seeing explosive growth in
distributed and offshore work and in work with companies looking to completely
transform their software delivery capabilities. We stand out in the marketplace
because of our assured global delivery expertise, our commitment to local client
service, and our appetite to share risk and reward with our customers. I'm
confident the best is yet to come."



Mather\'s nearly 20 years of professional IT consulting experience include a 10-year
career at Andersen Consulting (now Accenture) where he developed extensive expertise
in selling and delivering e-business solutions to the global financial services
market. Mather next served as Managing Director of efinanceworks, a venture capital
firm focused on identifying, investing in, and growing e-finance firms. In 2000,
Mather became part of the executive management team of one of these firms, mPower
Europe, a leading Internet-based investment advisory company, where he led client
services for the finance practice.
