Management.

Tom Hopkins, CEO & CTO: Before founding Zero E, Hopkins was COO of an international consortium focused on the development of a 300 MPH high-speed monorail. He has published on linear induction motors and has developed vehicle simulation programs. Hopkins has a BE from the University of Queensland, a M.Eng.Sc from the University of New South Wales, an MBA from the University of Chicago, and he was a Chartered Professional Engineer (Australia) for twenty years.

Board of Directors

Hopkins serves on Zero E's board of directors. Other directors are:

Mike Barish: Barish is a major investor and long-experienced financial executive. He founded Cambiar Investors, an equity manager, in 1973 and was its President until 2000. Cambiar currently has $15 billion in assets under management. He guides Zero E on its financing strategy.

Dale Mosier: Mosier was president of Poly Hi Solidur, Inc., a leading worldwide manufacturer of special purpose engineering polymer shapes. He led its expansion from $33 million in 1992 to $150 million in 2001. Most recently he was with the Peace Corp where he was the Country Director in Malawi before going to Washington DC to head up the training of future Country Directors. He has long experience with second- and third-world countries.

Jon Statler: Statler was Principal of Maval Manufacturing, a manufacturer of steering columns with significant Chinese and South-East Asian business relationships. He has long-experience in doing business with Chinese and SE Asian suppliers. Maval was acquired by Remy, which was in turn acquired by Bosch.

Former Board of Directors

Gov. Richard Lamm: Gov. Dick Lamm died several months ago. Dick was our first outside shareholder (outside the founding team). He offered to invest and did so on several critical occasions. He served on the board of directors. He was both wise and astute and contributed much good advice. And he opened doors for us to meet with key influential people to help move us forward. Gov. Lamm was a three-term governor and was one of Colorado’s more influential. Last month there was a public celebration of his life, attended by 500+ people (my estimate), in which numerous people spoke of his life. His life was impressive, and he was a lovely person. And following this was a private celebration of his life at the governor’s mansion which we attended. I am most thankful for his contributions to Zero E. I corresponded directly with his wife, Dottie, and made her aware of how appreciative we are for the role Dick played.
