Management Team

Management Team
CAC's management team consists of senior executives with NASDAQ IPO, early-stage financing, small and large company operational, and China international marketing experience. Greg Gustin, John Tao, and Jeff Green were instrumental in facilitating the CCTV relationship and the founding of CAC. Bill Manak and Karl Moeller have joined CAC's management as acting executives to assist the company with its formation and early-stage financing. CAC is presently identifying and intends to hire experienced executives from the TV broadcasting industry during Q1 2000. Because CAC intends to outsource most programming and production to third-parties; because the company will be provided historical and daily programming content; and because it has identified and intends to use experienced programming consultants from the broadcasting industry; CAC projects that these services will compliment its starting management team and will provide the expertise and means to launch the China TV channel
