Douglas J. Parsons (Chief Executive Officer & Director), age 52, has significant high-technology startup and management experience. Prior to becoming involved in solar PV eight years ago, he was President and Managing Director of a $9M high-technology medical product sterilization startup in Thailand which reached commercial production in record time and on budget. A proven engineer and serial entrepreneur, and graduate of the U.S. Navy's nuclear propulsion program, Doug earned Masters degrees (with honors) in both Nuclear Engineering and Industrial Education from The Pennsylvania State University where he was on a fellowship from the power industry and passed the national Engineer-in-Training certification examination. He notes that he's still in the nuclear business, but the first ninety-three million miles are wireless!

He has started and operated several technology-related firms, both in the U.S. and Asia. Doug has visited many Asian countries and traveled extensively in the People’s Republic of China, Thailand, and Mongolia. He has a proven ability to take an eclectic approach in identifying a market need, planning the project, assembling a dynamic team of talented individuals, and integrating diverse backgrounds and resources into the implementation of startup organizations to address and fulfill the identified need.
