The Sue M. Cobb Award for Exemplary Diplomatic Service is presented to a
non-career ambassador who has used private sector leadership and management
skills to make a significant impact on bilateral or multilateral relations
and has done so in a manner that best reflects the Foreign Service culture of
uncommon commitment in carrying out United States foreign policy through
proactive diplomacy. The award is made possible by the generosity of Sue M.
Cobb, Former U.S. Ambassador to Jamaica.

The award was presented to Ambassador Riley by Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton at a formal awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. Signed by Clinton the
award read, "In recognition of your extraordinary strategic vision, dynamism,
leadership, and Management of Mission Morocco from 2004 until 2009. Your
promotion of U.S. business, the Free Trade Agreement and the Millennium
Challenge Account Compact will be lasting legacies."

"Ambassador Riley is an innovative and visionary leader whose
extraordinary management ability has produced many achievements on U.S.
foreign policy priorities and invigorated Mission Morocco," according to
Ambassador Thomas B. Robertson, Dean of Leadership and Management at the
Foreign Service Institute. "He played a pivotal role in Morocco's decision to
purchase a U.S. military aircraft worth US$2.4 billion. This is more than the
sum of all Foreign Military Sales since the U.S. began its' security
assistance relationship with the Kingdom in 1956."

"Savvis is an outsourcing provider of IT services ranging from colocation
to cloud computing solutions that are being embraced globally," said Phil
Koen, chief executive officer of Savvis. "Tom Riley's experience and astute
observations are translating into immediate contributions as we continue to
expand delivery of these services in key regions internationally."

"I am extremely honored to receive this award on behalf of my work as
U.S. Ambassador to Morocco," said Tom Riley. "Since leaving the government
sector, I have been focused on Savvis' international strategy and growth as a
leading IT solutions provider with an expanding global footprint."
