March 7, 2007 -- Fluke Networks, a provider of testing, monitoring and analysis equipment for enterprise and telecommunications networks, announced that Paul Caragher has been named president of the company.

According to a press release, Caragher comes to Fluke from his role as business unit director at Hach Lange, a manufacturer and distributor of analytical instruments used to test water quality. At Hach Lange, Caragher lead the strategy development for the company's entrance into the industrial market and managed the company's process instrumentation business, driving double-digit growth in both segments.

Fluke Networks and Hach Lange are both part of the Danaher family of companies.

"My first focus will be on learning our products and services, spending time in the field with our sales team, but most importantly, I'll be getting to know our customers," comments Caragher. "I'm looking forward to learning and growing with Fluke Networks, and becoming part of the team that has built a very successful company in an extremely dynamic industry."

"We are excited about having Paul lead the Fluke Networks team," adds Chris Odell, founding president of Fluke Networks and current chairman. "He has a proven record of success within Danaher along with the necessary core values to continue to deliver Fluke Networks' promise of Network SuperVision."

Caragher was awarded the General Motors Fellowship to attend Harvard Business School and there earned his MBA with High Distinction in 2002. He also holds a BA in Accounting from Michigan State University.

Prior to his roles with Danaher, Caragher held positions with General Motors Corporation and Coopers & Lybrand LLP, a predecessor firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
