four years prior to his relocation to Germany in 1978. He successfully completed
commercial accounting studies in Munich in 1985 while working as Chief

1980 to 1986. He then joined the process automation division of an American
company, Combustion Engineering Inc. in their European Headquarters in Germany
as their C.F.O. for Central Europe from 1986 through 1991 and accompanied their
merger with ABB in 1989. From 1991 through 1997 he was C.F.O. for two U.S. and
German based software companies before becoming self-employed in 1997 as a
business consultant. His most notable achievement was accompanying the start-up
of a cable TV company in 1998 as a co-investor, financial consultant, and acting
C.F.O. through to its private placement in 2000 for 176 million euros, bringing
a 400% return for its investors. In 2001, he accompanied the start-up phase of a
