Chairman (Non-Executive, 1 day per week)

Electronic, Communications, Security & Defence Sectors

Central England

Competitive fee and share options

Our client is involved in developing and manufacturing electronic products for the high frequency spectrum sector and is respected as setting new standards in terms of cost, quality and ease of use for a range of products. The Company sells mm-wave front end systems and sub systems to end equipment manufacturers worldwide.

The company has an executive management team of 5, reporting to the CEO and this appointment will replace the current Chairman following a period of transition. Accountabilities of the role will include the foundational work needed to complete a trade sale within the timeframe of 2-4 years.  This leadership role will be in addition to the more traditional responsibilities of a Chairman: Ensuring the effective operation and delivery of formative board meetings on a monthly basis; supporting negotiation of strategic contracts; being part of steering the key decisions which fuel growth, profitability and a successful trade sale.

Products in this sector are normally associated with high unit costs, however our client has exclusive access to ‘game changing’ and patented technology to bring products into a commercially affordable category and ready access to larger markets.

The incoming Chairman is likely to have an extensive background and senior contacts in electronic component and sub system manufacturing, preferably in communications, security or detection sectors. A full understanding of the product life-cycle and supply chain issues, including development, manufacturing and sales will be necessary.

A track record in fundraising is required and the selected candidate will also have successfully exited one or a number of ventures. Knowledge of the ‘suitable exit buyer’ sector will be of considerable advantage.  The role is open for immediate occupancy.

Director, Global Licensing – Automotive Sector (through Intramezzo’s Tagged Executive Programme®) - Equity Opportunity
Permanent Appointment, Midlands location.

The requirement is for a seasoned dealmaker with a track record in delivering revenue from global licensing. Experience in the automotive sector would be of advantage.

Our client has developed a leading edge patent pending Hybrid Turbocharger Technology (HTT) system which delivers fuel savings and emission reductions that surpass competing turbo systems. Licence revenue forecasts show cumulative potential revenues of up to £250mn achievable by 2020 and it is anticipated that the technology will be sold or licensed within the auto sector in the next 18-24 months as the testing programme successfully concludes. Three major turbo manufacturers have already suggested potential timelines for trade purchase discussions.

The company has been funded by angel investment and a further £1m is being sought, offering investors the likelihood of a lucrative trade sale within the next 2 years and an engagement in a business already active with global manufacturers.

To meet stringent legislative requirements in the US, Europe and globally, car manufacturers are now endeavouring to bring the highest efficiency lowest cost turbo systems that both reduce emissions and enable engines to be downsized into their supply chain, whilst seeking a turbo technology that eliminates the turbo-lag problems inherent with existing systems.

A prototype demonstrating very robust performance data has been so well received by the wider industry that a testing programme has been agreed to be undertaken with a global car manufacturer. There is already a separate testing programme in place with a leading construction equipment vehicle manufacturer. This is a relatively low cost system which critically brings significant benefits to diesel, petrol and hybrid vehicles.

Although our client is pursuing HTT adoption in the auto and off highway sectors initially, there is huge emissions reduction potential in other sectors, including power generation.
