Mr. Storey has been a Director since November 7, 2005. Mr. Storey has over 25 years of experience pioneering dynamic, early growth businesses and directing successful long-term strategic planning at the highest levels of various global communications industries. From 2000, he served as President and CEO of Inmarsat Ventures, creators of the world's first total global satellite system for mobile and remote communications services, with revenues of $500 million. Mr. Storey was recruited to lead the former intergovernmental consortium reorganized as a private company to commercialize operations and to set the strategic vision for the next decade. Due to the groundbreaking nature of Inmarsat structure and operations, Mr. Storey's work charted important new territory in the global communications industry. He prepared the company for several public offerings before, due to market conditions and certain unique aspects of the business, recommending to the board and then conducting an extremely competitive private equity sale of the company. In what was described by the firm's investment bankers, Morgan Stanley, as "the most complicated transaction our team has ever been involved with," the sale raised $1.5 billion -- a 50% premium to what Morgan Stanley expected in a public market transaction. Under his direction, annual revenues and operating profit both increased by more than $100 million and a fourth generation of satellites were developed at a capital cost of $1.6 billion. His mission solidly accomplished, he resigned in March of 2004, and continued for 2 years as Advisor to the Chairman. Prior to his position at Inmarsat, Mr. Storey ran several telecommunications businesses during European deregulation that eventually became Verizon Europe. Under his direction, the businesses operated in eight national markets with over 1300 employees, and grew annual revenues from $5 million to $1 billion in the period from 1994 to 1999 through an even mixture of organic growth and strategic acquisitions. Mr. Storey also established a business in cable television and telecommunications in the early 1980s, leading the push to create the required regulatory framework for an entire industry. With a partner, he grew this business and acquired several franchises before selling his interests in 1992 to Videotron and Bell Canada. He served as a Director and then Chairman of the Cable Communications Association from 1983 to 1990, representing all the investors in the U.K. cable industry. Mr. Storey served for 10 years as a Vice President and Partner of Booze Allen Hamilton International Management Consultants, directing more than 100 strategic consulting assignments globally across a wide range of industries. Prior to entering the communications industry, he worked in the healthcare industry, operating hospitals in the U.K., Middle East, and North America.
