EAU Technologies Announces New Chairman of the Board and Board Leadership

Changes reflect company’s focus on growth and value to customers


ATLANTA, Ga. (Nov. 7, 2007) - EAU Technologies, Inc. (“EAU” or “Company”) (EAUI:OTCBB), a provider of electrolyzed oxidative water that promotes “Green Technology” to numerous industries including food processing, agriculture, dairy and environmental remediation, today announced changes in leadership to help the organization better meet the needs of its current customers and develop plans for strategic growth into dynamic markets.

Leading the change is newly installed Non Executive Chairman of the Board, J. Leo Montgomery, who began providing strategic counsel and fiscal guidance to the company in May 2006 utilizing his financial background as a certified public accountant. Montgomery joins EAU Technologies following a 39-year career with Ernst & Young where he served as senior partner and acted as coordinating partner for many of the firm’s major clients. Montgomery also serves as Advisory Director at SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, a division of SunTrust Capital Markets, and is also a member of the Board of Directors of Cypress Communications, Inc.

“I am pleased to take on this leadership position with EAU,” said Montgomery. “It is an exciting time to be a part of a company with such timely relevance. There are strong opportunities for us to expand into new vibrant industries where our Empowered Water™ can enhance and support the dynamic changes that these markets are facing. Our customers are challenged not only in complying with regulatory and environmental shifts but also with meeting their own business growth goals. EAU uniquely supports those goals for increased productivity, strict quality standards, worker safety, and their own Corporate Social Responsibility efforts. Whether we are assisting dairies in creating healthier more productive cows or providing beef processors a better alternative for food safety programs, EAU has the solution.”
 
 
 

 
 
Montgomery is taking over the chairman position from Jay Potter, who provided leadership during the transitional period as Chairman of EAU since May, 2006.

“It has been a pleasure being EAU’s Chairman of the Board during this intermediary time,” said Potter.  “While I will continue to be an active board member for EAU, I am excited to hand the leadership baton to Leo Montgomery. I feel this passing of the baton completes our changing of the guard and will enable us to move into a more strategic rollout phase of our business.”

The second key addition is the naming of Karl Hellman to EAU’s Board of Directors. Hellman joins the company with 30 years of marketing and CRM experience, most recently as founder, president and CEO of Resultrek, a management consulting and marketing training firm. During his career he has worked with clients including The Coca-Cola Company, AT&T, Procter & Gamble, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Wachovia and others.

Hellman published his first book, The Customer Learning Curve, in 2004 in conjunction with The American Marketing Association and Thompson Publishing, and will publish his second book, The Marketing Epiphany, in 2008. Additionally he has published articles focusing on “Strategy Driven Promotions,” “Linking Customer Satisfaction to Profitability,” “Integrating Marketing and Sales” and “Product Management.”

“My career focus has been on helping clients gather and use information about their customers and markets to create successful marketing strategies, including development of successful new products and CRM programs,” said Hellman. “I am eager to use this background to help EAU demonstrate the value our product can provide to our customers and their end users.”

For additional information about Mr. Montgomery’s or Mr. Hellman’s background, please refer to the Company’s Form 8-K filed on November 6, 2007.
