MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA–(EMWNews – July 22, 2008) – Voyant International Corporation (OTCBB: VOYT), a diversified media and technology holding company dedicated to

improving the quality of the digital world for businesses and consumers,

As part of his responsibilities for managing Voyant’s software businesses,

transfer acceleration subsidiary.

Mr. Elliot comes to Voyant with over 30 years of operations experience at

some of Silicon Valley’s best-known technology companies. He served as

senior vice president of operations at Apple Computer, overseeing the

development of the original Macintosh software, which raised Apple’s

California operations. More recently, Mr. Elliot was the founder of Migo

provider of content mobility software that is now distributed by several

industry-leading companies, including Kingston, HP, and Memorex.

In addition to his vast technology background, Mr. Elliot has extensive

experience in both the entertainment and healthcare industries. In the

entertainment field, he served as CEO of Academy-Award-nominated San

Francisco Studios and president of Acclaim Entertainment, a key contributor

to the success of Telemundo. He was also CEO of New Health Systems, a

network technology group connecting physicians and payers to patients and

affiliated hospitals, as well as developing telemedicine software in

conjunction with UCLA.

“Having Jay Elliot join the Voyant team as general manager of our software

business is a fantastic development for the company,” said Voyant CEO Dana

Waldman. “Jay is a true software visionary and a legend in Silicon Valley.

He brings to us an unparalleled depth of experience in the development of

both consumer and business software, as well as a wealth of industry

connections. He has pioneered many innovations at the intersection of

media and technology: precisely the field that Voyant calls home. Jay will

not only grow our RocketStream business line, but also help set the

strategic direction of the more far-reaching software initiatives that we

are developing across all of our business segments.”

“Voyant is perfectly poised to exploit the intersection of media and

technology with a unique combination of intellectual property assets, media

industry contacts, and dedicated management team,” said Mr. Elliot. “I see

an outstanding opportunity here to grow a compelling and profitable set of

software businesses to serve our new, mobile, always-connected and

increasingly content-centric era.”

Mr. Elliot holds a B.S. degree from San Jose State University and a B.A.
