(Nasdaq:LOGM), a leading provider of SaaS-based remote connectivity solutions, has named Michael Christenson to the company's board of directors.  The investment banking and business development expert joins LogMeIn as the company looks to build on its rapid growth in the remote access, support and collaboration markets.

Christenson is a Managing Director at Allen & Company, a New York investment bank. Prior to Allen, he was the President and Chief Operating Officer of CA, Inc., a leading systems management software company. Before joining CA, Christenson was an investment banker with Citigroup and Salomon Brothers.

"I believe LogMeIn's 2009 IPO, recent market success, and innovative new products have combined to put the company in a strong position to grow its market share and capitalize on emerging opportunities," said Christenson. "I look forward to working with the LogMeIn team to help the company fuel its continued growth and reach its ultimate potential."
