The following is an onulysis and sdvisory evaluation ofthc acadenric credentials and workcrpcricncc of M.r:. Cion Guido Brasscr. This cvaluation is bascd upoo atr analysis of Mr.Brasscr's cmployment ecpericncc' as wcll as his completion ofpost-sccoodary vocationsl studicsin Switzcrland. As discusscd below, Mr. Brassr-'r hns complcted no less thau clwcn ycars andtlucc months of progrcssively responsiblc qualiffing work expcriencc in conputcr informltionsystcmsr and relaLed areas.

Enrollmcnt in thc stetc vocational programs of Su'itzcrland is besed on graduatioa fromhigh school and co.Expctitivc cntraflce examioations; thc schools providc accrcditcd uainingprograms in Switzcrlaud, sponsored by govcrnmcnt organizations corrcsponding to thc spccificfiel{r ol'instnrcrioa designcd to provide students wiflr thc &corcticul und acadcmic foundationnecessary to uadcrtakc employnrent in pa:ticular ficlds. ln 1990, Mr. Brasscr complctcd anintcgratcd program of apprenticeship training snd cxaminutions in thc ficld of businesscomput'ng, under Lhe auspiccs of thc rcspcctive cml.onal authority. Following his complction ofthc rcquircd trairring :rrd apprcnticcship, Mr. Brasser was awardcd a Ccrtificste of Crpacity forthc Title of Conrmercial Clcrlc Thc ccrtificste providcs cvidcscc thot hc corrpleted thc ncccssnry,intcgrated training in bushcss infonnaticq :s rcquircd in accord with thc applicablc govcrnmentrcgularions fbr profcssiona] ccrtifi cation.

Thc course udministstcd by thc Confcdmtion torvard rccognition ss u Comracrcial Clcrktypically includes a combination of academic study, as rvc1l as goverxment-sponsorcd workraining and cxtcnsivc cxaminations (undcrtakcn undcr offieial supervision). I'Iis apprcnticeslripwts complctcd with Ariger und Co. AG, from April, '198?, to April 1990, and involvcd aspccis'lization in Brsiness Informatics (computing). Mr. Brasscr's.formal str:dies includcd optionsin Econorui.cs. Luw. Sociology and Lnfonnatics, :s well as standard courscwork in Accounting,as well as related busincss and gcncral subjecls. Upon complction of this inl,egratcd program, Mr.Brasser receivcd a Ccrtificatc of Capacity trom thc Swiss Confederatior. This ccrtificate isindicutive of thc attairmcnt of a levcl of knowlcdgc associtted with thc sttainnrent of anAssociatc's Dcgrce in the Unitcd Statcs. Thru, the natrre of thc progr&m indicates ftat Mr.Brasscr complcted the equivalcnt of an Associate's.level Dcgrcc, or two years of acadcmic studieslcading to a lSachelor's Dcgrcc, in brxiness computing, -from an sccrcdited institution of highcrcducation in tlre Unitcd Statcs.

ln addition to his post-sccondary snrdies, Mr. Brasscr has complctcd opproximatcly clcvcnycars and threc months of bachclor's-lcvcl employmcnt crpcricuce in conrputct informstionsystcms, and rclsted;reas, chnractcrizcd by increuingly advanccd responsibility and conrplexityundcr thc supervision of m:rn&gcrs, ond together with pccrs, at a bachelor's-16rel of practicalcxpcricnce. My conclusions conccrning Mr. Brasscr's profcssional lristory arc bascd upon lettcrsof rct'crencc from his onploycrs.

I.'rom April, 1990, to Junc, 2001, Mr. Brasscr was anploycd in progressively rcsponsibletechaical positions with Arigcr & Co. (April, l99O-Fcbnrary, 1993).

The foregoing sumrnarizes the work c:cpcricncc complctcd by Gion Guido Brasscr ondspeciEce his rcsponsibilitics ovcr I pcriod of approximatcly clcvcn yeors and thrcc months ofcmploymcnt cxpcricncc aud tru.ining conccntfirtcd in computcr infbrmation systeurs, and rclatcdarils.
