Mr. King continues, "Jay Ripley will give our board a unique skillset from his broad experience as an incredibly successful entrepreneur including experience running public companies, private equity sponsored companies and as a former partner of Alaris.  With the vast majority of our company's assets being in the United States, we are also pleased to welcome our first American board member.  Our whole company has been lucky enough to get to know Jay and his wife Barbara over the last five years and look forward to welcoming them back as part of the Alaris family."

Mr. Ripley is a co-founder and serves as Chairman of Sequel Youth & Family Services, a national operator of behavioral health services in the USA and former Partner of Alaris.  Sequel currently operates 46 programs in 20 states, serving over 9,000 clients from 42 states and U.S. territories with over 4,000 employees. Mr. Ripley is also a founding partner and an Advisory Board member of CYWP Funds, a group of private equity funds located in the Washington, DC area which invest in operating businesses and real estate across the USA. Previously, Mr. Ripley was a co-founder and the principal owner of BGR, "The Burger Joint", a highly-acclaimed fast-casual gourmet burger restaurant concept.  Additionally, Mr. Ripley was a founding stockholder of Youth Services International, and served as its President and COO as well as its CFO.  Mr. Ripley also served as President and CEO of Precision Auto Care, a worldwide franchisor of automotive service centers, as well as Corporate Controller and then VP Eastern Division Operations for Jiffy Lube, the leading franchisor of quick lube centers in North America.  He began his career with Ernst & Young, CPAs in Baltimore, MD.
