Certain biographical information related to Mr. Dolan is set forth below.
PATRICK V. DOLAN, DIRECTOR
As a senior figure from the software and technology industries with over 20
years' experience, Mr. Dolan has successfully held numerous senior management
positions within large and small enterprises in the U.S., Asia Pacific and in
Europe. Often hand selected and recruited, Patrick has proven himself as the
right person to correct the issues that typically prevent the success of many
companies today. Patrick's "Make it Work" approach, which has included providing
the right amount of capital at the right time, building a focused and dedicated
sales force, as well as infrastructure and restructuring changes, has made him
standout as one of the best company restructuring professionals in recent times.
Patrick possesses expertise and extensive knowledge in managing large global
operations, which include such companies as Standard & Poors, Dow Jones,
Citibank, State Street and, more recently, Merchant Capital. His
overachievements while with Merchant Capital not only produced a tremendous
amount of new clientele, but it also allowed him the privilege of being
introduced to a broader range of companies and professionals who came to him
seeking professional assistance. Utilizing his broad range of business
expertise, Patrick often placed himself in the middle of these situations and
successfully produced the changes that were necessary to achieve the company's
growth objectives. In the last 12 years, he has also worked within the
technology and software sectors with small to medium sized companies, while
expanding their operations and increasing revenues as part of their executive
teams. Patrick has also worked closely with numerous Private Equity and Venture
Capital Firms in Europe and the U.S., principally as an executive retained and
placed within companies who were part of their investment portfolios. Patrick
brings a wealth of experience from both an operational and capital raising
perspective and has significant contacts across the financial markets.
