Founder & Executive Director

Next Generation Development & Infrastructures Consortium

(Telecommunications industry)

February 2003 — Present (7 years 1 month)

Was launched in May 2003 as the 21st Century Infrastructures Consortium. Relaunched recently.

At 21st CIC I introduced an alternative to the telecom industry's standard xPON solution for Fiber-To-The-Home infrastructures. Passive Optical Networks are not future-proof. For example, it is impossible (or too expensive) to build infrastructure to provide multiple true-HDTV channels and 1 Gbps speeds per subscriber on PON-based networks.

In March 2003, I published a report on our solution, the FiberBroadband Strategy vs. PON, which is the industry-standard. The report was featured in a Lightwave article "Are PONs too small for the Big Fish?" See http://tinyurl.com/59rlse for the article.

In July 2007, I published a Business White paper; Building Communications Infrastructures for the 21st century: A Multi-Billion Dollar Opportunity for Investors, Vendors and Partners.
Chairman & Chief Executive Officer

GigaSpeed International, INC.

(Telecommunications industry)

March 2007 — February 2009 (2 years )

On Friday, January 30, 2009, GigaSpeed International, Inc.’s Board of Directors and Executive Team agreed to dissolve GigaSpeed International, Inc. per March 1, 2009. The entire Board and Team will transition to a company under a Limited Liability Corporation structure.

The name of the new company is: International Ultra-High-Bandwidth Access Networks, Inc. (iUHBA – pronounced Ayoohba). Any and all activities of GigaSpeed International, Inc. will be moved/switched to iUHBA Networks, Inc.
Chairman & CEO

21st Century Venture Capital LLC

(Venture Capital & Private Equity industry)

July 2005 — January 2007 (1 year 7 months)

I became Chairman & CEO of 21 CVC in March 2006, it was the successor of 21st Century Group of Funds, which I founded in 2003.

A new partnership, Lachman & Malik Capital Partners, LLC, has been set up with a Private Equity structure. At L&M, we believe that the next few decades will see "evolutionary progress through revolutionary means"™. An example is the next-generation way of transportation: ultra-high-speed transit, such as magnetic levitation (maglev) systems. The same goes for communications: ultra-high-speed and ultra-high-capacity communications capabilities through a next-generation digital communications infrastructure.

To “upgrade” (evolve) from the current status to the new level (next-generation), a revolutionary approach must be taken.
Chairman & CEO

LBDC International Holdings, LLC

(Telecommunications industry)

July 1999 — January 2007 (7 years 7 months)

I licensed all Intellectual Property of LBDC and its predecessors and (previous) subsidiaries and affiliates to iUHBA Networks, LLC.

Started as a personal investment, at LBDC, I was responsible for the investment and development of the FiberBroadband Strategy, which is gaining traction as a new, future-proof business strategy for ultra-high-bandwidth access infrastructures.

Based on extensive research and planning (90,000 man hours) since 2000, my teams and I have developed the FiberBroadband Strategy to realize the next digital/communications infrastructure through future proof patented technologies that will revolutionize the digital/communications industry as we know it.

The FiberBroadband Strategy includes the technical, business and financial aspects of building and operating end-to-end Optical Fiber infrastructures (Fiber-To-The-Home/Office) and a Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) network to serve 20-40 million subscribers in the USA.
