Ziggs, Inc., the fast-growing business people search and online image management platform, today announced that Ken Mabe, founder and principal, New Velocity, L.L.C., has been selected as the individual winner of Ziggs’ ZBest Profile Award for April, 2006. Ken is being honored with a ZBest Profile Award for his outstanding online presence created using Ziggs’ free profile service. His online profile can be found in the Ziggs Index of Professionals.

Introduced in January 2005 to help set the Internet’s standard for a quality, professional, online profile, the ZBest Profile Award is awarded monthly to both one individual and the one organization that has developed and presented the most professional online profile listed in the Ziggs Index. Enjoying rapid global growth, Ziggs now provides people search and profile services for customers in over fifty countries. As a result, Ken was selected for this honor from a pool of professional candidates that span the globe.

Ken’s professional online presence, created with Ziggs Profile Manager™ begins with an inviting photo and comprehensive biography of his leadership experience at top companies like Iomega Corporation and Adaptec, Inc., as well as several start-up companies. He uses his profile to highlight his background in product development, procurement, field applications engineering and OEM account management. He completes his professional biography by highlighting his expertise as an instrument rated private pilot and his participation as Operations Director for the Central Texas Air Show.

In addition to his professional photo and biography, Ken’s online Profile presents a self-written interview that further communicates his passion for flying and his strong work ethic. Ken states, “'the only thing we have to fear is…fear itself.' I believe there is great power if facing adversity with determination.” His online interview also gives him the opportunity to share his respect for his first employer, who extended trust to him from day one by giving him the keys to the building and the safe. This trust inspired him to excel. Ken completes his profile with insight into his personal interests, such as sailing regattas and Claude Monet, giving his online presence a personal touch.

“As an experienced sales professional and founder of his own consultancy, Ken understands the power of maintaining a professional online profile for use in his daily interaction with prospects and clients” said Tim DeMello, founder and chief executive officer, Ziggs. “Ken’s online profile is a valuable business asset that enables him to present himself professionally online nationwide.” Ken was able to quickly and easily create his comprehensive online profile using Ziggs’ insightful profiling template.

Winners are chosen by Ziggs at the close of a monthly review process that includes an assessment of the professionalism, content value, brand value and creativity of all online profiles in the Ziggs Index. The professionalism measure weighs the overall quality of the entire profile, including the photograph. The content value measure rewards profiles that present the most valuable information to a prospect or client reviewing the profile. The brand value measure assesses the profile’s level of success in communicating the company brand and corporate identity within the profile. The creativity measure seeks to reward profiles that are creative in their efforts to communicate all of the above three elements. In combination, these measurements set the standard for the definition of a quality online profile.
