JASBIR SINGH, COO and Director
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Originally a banker and registered investment broker, Jasbir Singh
spent over 10 years as a teacher and administrator to be close to
his growing children. He continues to study social interactivity and
information gathering and
is especially sensitive to online privacy
issues.
He
was first sought out by OneTV for his business acumen. Experienced
with complex business protocols, Mr. Singh had been regional manager
of International Investments and Mortgages (IIM) Inc. and the regional
coordinator for Genesis Land Development Corporation (“Genesis”), a
publicly traded land development company listed on The Toronto Stock
Exchange. His primary duties at Genesis involved establishing and maintaining
effective working relationships with investors and financial brokers.
He was a managing director, secretary treasurer and founding member of
Gentec Technologies Ltd., a mobile audio distribution technology manufacturing
company. He managed all facets of the business operations including
research and development, technology production,
marketing, sales, administration and accounting.
At the request
of OneTV, Mr Singh recruited top level support, then helped focus
and refine the business strategy.
In Jasbir's
efforts to build on the sophisticated OneTV software strategies and design,
he was able to earn the respect, attention, feedback and input from major
leaders in the computer field. During that time he recruited leading
software innovator Vijay Vashee, then General Manager of Microsoft Corporation,
to bring his mentorship and inspiration to OneTV by joining the Board
of Directors for more than five years while refinement was most critical.
First Chairman of the
Board was the late technology genius Dr. Nirmal Dial, one of the world's
leading communication hardware designers and technology project managers.
Nirmal designed and project-managed construction of the world's first operating
consumer satellite system, the first 2-foot dish satellite system, then
he designed and developed the extended life 50,000 line fibre-optic switch
for Bell Labs -- the first successful system to replace the 900 line switch
standard. Recruited by Jasbir, Nirmal promoted global reach and sharing
of OneTV's unique science and design strategies,
until his untimely passing. |
