Gaiam, Inc. , the market-leading lifestyle media company catering to people who value personal development, natural health and inspirational media, announced today the hiring of Jane Pemberton as President of Gaiam"s worldwide distribution.
Ms. Pemberton joins Gaiam with over 20 years of media and retail experience, both domestically and internationally, having previously served in senior management roles at The Walt Disney Company, 20th Century FOX Home Entertainment and Mommy & Me. In her new role, she will oversee Gaiam"s development of original programming, content acquisition, and distribution to worldwide retail.
"Jane"s deep experience in media, retail and brand management will be instrumental in enhancing Gaiam"s position as the leading brand in the healthy living and inspirational media categories and we are delighted that she has joined our team, "said Lynn Powers, Gaiam"s President.

Company receives Vendor of the Year Award from Target Corporation
The Company also announced that it was awarded 2005 Vendor of the Year honors from Target Corporation, one of the nation"s leading retailers. Each year Target recognizes and honors certain vendors for their business practices, commitment to Target"s success, support of Target"s differentiation strategies and brand character, value and reliability. This is the second time that Gaiam has received this honor.
"This prestigious award is a tribute to Gaiam and all of our employees," commented Ms. Powers. "We are very proud to be recognized by Target as a leading partner in providing the best value to its customers. We look forward to a continuing and beneficial relationship with Target."
