Kenneth Traub, President & CEO
American Bank Note Holographics

Ken Traub has been President and Chief Executive Officer of American Bank Note Holographics, Inc. (“ABNH”) from 1999 until its recent sale to JDS Uniphase Corp. in 2008.  Mr. Traub was originally hired as the Chief Financial Officer of ABNH in 1999.  Upon his arrival, ABNH revealed financial irregularities which embroiled the company in extensive legal, regulatory, financial and operational problems.  In the midst of a crisis, Mr. Traub became President and CEO, and managed a very successful turnaround.  He rebuilt the company as a global leader in document security, dramatically strengthened its financial and strategic position, built a world class team, moved its headquarters and operations from NY and PA to Robbinsville, NJ and led the sale of the Company in a high profile strategic transaction to JDSU.  ABNH shareholders enjoyed an appreciation of their stock in excess of 1000% from 2002 through the sale to JDSU in 2008.  ABNH continues to be based in Robbinsville, NJ and is now part of the Authentication Solutions Group of JDSU, one of the leading optical technology companies in the world.  Previously, Mr. Traub co-founded and was Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Voxware, Inc. from 1994 to 1998 and helped lead Voxware from start-up through IPO. Prior to that, Mr. Traub was Vice President of Trans-Resources, a diversified multi-national holding company, where he was responsible for acquisitions, operational turnarounds and investment management. Mr. Traub holds an M.B.A. from the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration and a B.A. from Emory University.
