Marketwired MarketwiredMarch 22, 2017
LONGMONT, CO--(Marketwired - March 22, 2017) - Lightwave Logic, Inc. (LWLG), a technology company focused on the development of Next Generation Photonic Devices and Non-Linear Optical Polymer Materials Systems for applications in high-speed fiber-optic data communications and telecommunications, announced today that Dr. Michael Lebby will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer effective May 1, 2017 while Tom Zelibor remains Chair of the Board.
Dr. Lebby has been a member of the Lightwave Logic Board of Directors since August 2015 as well as serving on the Company's Operations Committee, which has been critical to moving the Company forward in its polymer technology and device development. For over 20 years, his career has spanned all aspects of the optoelectronics business, ranging from Founder, CEO, CTO, research and development, sales, to marketing and investing. He is internationally recognized as a visionary, technologist, leader and market expert in optics and photonics. Dr. Lebby has organized and led roadmap workshops, conferences, technology strategy, and market analysis for the industry.
Dr. Lebby has also served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Optoelectronics Industry Development Association (OIDA) from 2005 to 2010, and represented the U.S. optoelectronics industry both on a national level as well as on an international level. While at Intel in 1999, he initiated Intel's photonics division while serving as Intel's corporate investor for optoelectronics.
Tom Zelibor, Chair of the Board of Directors, stated, "We have made tremendous progress at Lightwave Logic over the last few years and reorganized the company to attain realistic and achievable goals. This required critical investment in infrastructure and personnel, which has paid off significantly since we have demonstrated that our organic polymers and electro-optic technology can challenge the existing legacy infrastructure.
"It is now time for a changing of the guard and Michael Lebby has the leadership skills and experience in the photonics industry necessary to move the company into its next level of performance, which will be achieved through the commercialization of our organic electro-optic polymers for the telecommunications, data communications and data center markets around the world.
"As the Company's Chair, I remain committed to oversee this successful transition and am fully confident in Michael's ability not only to communicate the features and benefits of our P2IC™ platform to important industry players, but also to oversee its expansion into new areas of opportunity."
Dr. Michael Lebby commented, "Integrated photonics, or 'photonic integrated circuits' (PICs), has been driving a powerful trend in the communications industry to integrate discrete optical devices onto a single chip with increased performance and improved cost structures. Polymer photonics has the potential to be able to offer customers a unique competitive advantage of simplicity, performance, and miniaturization to satisfy their demand for a cost-effective, high-performance solution at 100Gbps and 400Gbps.
"Lightwave, under Tom's leadership, is now uniquely positioned both technically, and from a market perspective to provide state-of-the-art photonics products using its proprietary P2IC™ (Polymer PIC) platform. I am honored to take up the baton and continue accelerating the Company into product development."
