He is Global Governing Body Chair of XSamsung, the Samsung Global Alumni Network. His firm bio says he "serves as a board member or board observer" of Bear Robotics, Aigen, NeuReality, Believer and bemyfriends, and has served on the boards of SparkCharge and Better Foods; because the bio does not distinguish which of those are full board seats and no portfolio-company filing confirming any of them was read, boardSeats is left empty. He holds a Ph.D. in Systems Engineering from George Washington University, an M.S. in Information and Telecommunication Systems from Johns Hopkins University, a B.S. in Business Administration from The Ohio State University, and is a graduate of the Advanced Management Program at Harvard Business School.
