PROFESSIONAL HISTORY OF MR. MICHAEL C. SHORES
Michael C. Shores, age 46, is currently the Chief Executive Officer of New China
Ventures, a finance company formed to secure capital from strategic Asian
investors for companies with "game changing" intellectual property. Mr. Shores
has held this position since November 2011. Mr. Shores is responsible for
setting strategic market objectives, evaluating intellectual property and
aligning New China Ventures clients with correct global supply chain partners
that frequently become investors as well. He also serves as one of their
"Cultural Interpreters", having worked with Asia for over 20 years now. New
China Ventures focuses on the automotive, energy, medical and technology
industries.
From September 2010, until October 2011, Mr. Shores served as President of
Cambridge Industries Group, a global company headquartered in Shanghai, China.
Cambridge Industries Group is an independent telecom OEM supplier focused solely
on GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) equipment, which is an essential part
of GPON OLT (Optical Line Terminal) vendors' and service providers' end-to-end
GPON solutions. Prior to joining Cambridge Industries Group, from January 2002,
until June 201, Mr. Shores was President and Chief Executive Officer of TXP
Corporation, a company he founded and grew into an industry leader in the
standalone inter-operable GPON Customer Premise Equipment space for the
telecommunications industry. None of the foregoing businesses are an affiliate
of the Company.
Over the last two decades, Mr. Shore has been successfully involved in helping
launch new high technology products into the automotive, consumer, energy,
medical, networking, and communications market. Prior to founding TXP, Mr.
Shores helped "green field" a New Product Introduction (NPI) center in 1997 for
Flextronics in Richardson, Texas and then went on to help launch their photonics
division. Mr. Shores later negotiated successfully the spin-off of his NPI group
from Flextronics in late 2001 to form TXP. It is Mr. Shores' extensive
background in both high technology development and manufacturing, and his
entrepreneurial spirit that led the Company to appoint Mr. Shores as its new
Chief Executive Officer and director.
Mr. Shores has been a member of the Advisory Board for ASCENT Investment
Management Company since November 2011, where he is actively involved in helping
them explore new technologies. Mr. Shores served on the board and was a founding
member of the Texas-Israel Chamber of Commerce from 2007 to 2010. He also served
on the board of the American Indian Chamber of Commerce of Texas and the board
of KOPTI (Korea Photonics Technology Institute) in Gwangju, South Korea. He
holds a BSBA with a focus on Economics from the University of Arkansas in
Fayetteville.
