GenuOne, Inc., a provider of technology-based solutions that fight counterfeiting, product diversion and licensing fraud in the physical world and on the Internet, today announced that former NHL superstar, Cam Neely, has joined its Board of Advisors as a consultant. Neely will provide insight and expertise in sports marketing for GenuOne as it offers its brand security solutions to sporting goods manufacturers and high profile personalities within sports industry.

"I'm looking forward to working with GenuOne and its Board in this chapter of my professional life," said Cam Neely. "I believe that my experience in the sports world will provide insight on sports licensing, as well as offer GenuOne a unique perspective on the sports industry and its related product marketing business, as a whole."

For sporting goods and equipment companies conducting business on a global basis, failure to appreciate the full scope of the brand protection problem can result in severe financial losses and contribute to brand erosion.

"We at GenuOne are very excited about Cam joining our team," said Jeffrey Unger, CEO of GenuOne.

We look forward to a long and productive relationship with Cam."

Combining its innovative technologies with its expertise in manufacturing, logistics and intelligence, GenuOne works with clients to design and execute a customized strategic plan, based on an assessment of their specific needs, to ensure brand security.

"We are very pleased to bring together an athlete of Cam's caliber with a quality company like GenuOne," said Kim Zayotti, senior director of athletic marketing for Woolf Associates.
