Samuel A. Thompson, for over 30 years, has been involved in the
successful implementation of construction and development projects in
the Caribbean, Africa, Europe and Asia. From his early beginnings as
regional Canadian Manager for AO Smith, International, and General
Manager for Fleur-de-Lys Natural Gas, Mr. Thompson has been active in
projects which include participation in the re-establishment of the
Sea Island Cotton Industry in the Eastern Caribbean, promotion of the
redevelopment of the International Airport at Piarco in Trinidad,
establishment of a consortium with Hungary for the technology transfer
of Quebec-developed technology, and participation in aiding in the
formation of a venture capital group participating in needed projects
in Jamaica. Since 1990, Mr. Thompson has created his own companies for
project development internationally, especially in the construction
and financing side, with many projects currently under way and in
design. For the past 3 years, he has been helping RCC/IWS in its
international planning and introductions to key governmental agencies
and project representatives for future projects. Mr. Thompson's depth
and breadth of contacts is remarkable. He will be active in the coming
years in introducing current and future IWS technology to various
countries and bringing new partners from his home country of Canada,
into the RCC/IWS family.

information technologies and marketing and commercialization of
software products. Key responsibilities have included the development
of marketing programs to resellers, brand management, product

years in the public sector with the Quebec Protection Bureau, the

tremendous strength and knowledge of the inner working of governments,
and creates a strong internal working knowledge of the ways
governments deal with multi-country projects. This knowledge has
already contributed heavily to the international expansion of RCC/IWS
and is expected to continue to do so in the future.
