New York: The board of directors of Cyber Group Network Corp., an information technology (IT) securities equipment start-up based in San Bernadino, California, has unanimously approved the selection of Indian American Nisha Kapoor as president, effective immediately.

Chandigarh-born Kapoor, 24, will be responsible for all operations and financial matters for the company.

Kapoor, who came to this country with her parents as a four-year old, said though she is the youngest employee, that would lead to "no pressure at all".

"I am very confident of the company and the direction it is headed," Kapoor told India Abroad News Service.

Cyber Group currently employs 13 people. The company is coming to market with electronic switching devices that are currently being developed.

Kapoor replaces Thomas Hobson, who has resigned for personal reasons. Hobson will, however, continue to serve on the board and, along with other members, oversee, advise and assist Kapoor.

A graduate of La Verne University in La Verne, California, Kapoor is currently pursuing an MBA-finance degree from the same university. She joined the Cyber Group in 2000 as director of public and investor relations, responsible for delivering communication in support of the company's strategic goals and marketing plans. Since then, her responsibilities have extended into strategic business and product development, promotion and marketing strategies for the company.

"Kapoor is a successful, strategic leader that gets impressive results," the board of directors said in a statement, adding, "she brings to our company organization proven operations ability and, most importantly, leadership, dedication and initiative."

"Our biggest goal is getting our tracking device out and working with partners and distributors," Kapoor said. "I am pleased with the board's recognition of my proven leadership ability in the past and total confidence in my capability as a leader for the company. I plan to do my very best...helping the company realize its full potential while building maximum shareholder value."

"We are ready to enter the market with our product by the first quarter of 2001," she said. "Of course, there are obstacles and hurdles for every start-up. But having very supportive staff and the ability to set up strategy and partnerships is a big plus."

The Cyber Group Network Corp. is a technology company with the three main goals of computer security technology, patented public Internet access devices and acquisitions of Internet, communications and financial service sector industries to expand its resources.

Among the products the company is developing is the BigTarget, a meta-search engine, the electronic snitching device that can track missing or stolen computers within five feet of its location globally as well as retrieve and destroy information from the hard drive. Several versions of e-snitch are expected to be released throughout the next year.

It has also developed a division, Cyber Crime Corporation, comprising specialists in the areas of ex-computer hacking, hi-tech theft, private investigating and law enforcement that will be committed to educating, informing and assisting consumers, businesses and organizations on how to detect, prevent and defend systems against hi- tech hustlers.

Another site, CGNComics.com, will be displaying 24 volumes of real life events from America's most notorious computer hackers, hi-tech thieves and industrial spies. "Tales of a Hi-Tech Hustler" will be featuring at all comic book locations and will also be available as an online subscription based publication.

Before joining Cyber Group, Kapoor worked at the law offices of Linda Battram and with the publicly traded company USS Logistics. She said she thought her legal background and her confidence in the company and herself have brought her to this position.
