LOS ANGELES, CA—March 1, 2007– PathConnect.com made several strategic additions to the company’s in-house web and technical department this week. The online community, dubbed ‘Social Networking for the Ambitious Lifestyle,’ originally launched in April 2006 with just four employees. Today, PathConnect boasts ten full-time employees and a thriving online community of over 15,000 members.

Askold Wawryszyn joins the team as Lead Project Manager. Wawryszyn has extensive experience managing a technical team. He previously served as Manager of Application Software Development at Present Media Services Inc. in Los Angeles, CA. Wawryszyn is tasked with continuing to build PathConnect’s technical infrastructure, including the introduction of various user-friendly features.

Joining PathConnect to advance the front-end look and feel are Alessandro Fard and Elizabeth Holloway. Fard has vast experience working in traditional and new media. He previously worked as a Graphic Designer for Game Show Network (GSN) and MBOX Design, both based in Los Angeles, CA. Ms. Elizabeth Holloway joins PathConnect after a recent move from Raleigh, NC. In North Carolina, Elizabeth served as Design Director for Sanctuary Records Group.  During her time with Sanctuary, Elizabeth was responsible for the print design behind assorted album releases, including Kelly Osborne’s Changes and Mary J. Blige’s Live in LA.

These new hires will work out of PathConnect’s headquarters in Los Angeles, CA and report to the site’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Ryan Blair.

Over the next sixty days, PathConnect will break from its parent company ViSalus Sciences and undergo a second round of funding from various private and public investors.
