For all this bla, bla, bla about opinion of Brian Goodall and Joseph Sanchez, I notice neither one of them care to state working for BEHL or DF on their resume. Things that are not said state a lot if one just listens. Also, I noticed the difference between a good resume and the the resumes of BNPD/BEHLs Kennedy and Rawson. Along with the fact that neither of these key talented people (Goodall and Sanchez) wanted to work for BEHL and chose different avenues and also along with the fact that no one of any stature wants to be CEO for BEHL. Sure its said "didn't have the time" for a Harvard graduate PRd by DF but just is more telling than any "opinion" stated. The fact that Goodall and Joseph are not saying anything good nor do they want to show that they even worked for or did any work for BEHL is pretty telling indeed.
Brian Goodall, PhD — Chief Technology Officer
Brian Goodall brings a distinguished career spanning more than 30 years in Europe and the USA, in the petrochemicals, materials, renewable energy and algae sectors. Dr. Goodall first entered the algae biofuels industry as Vice President of Downstream Technology at Sapphire Energy from 2008 to 2010, where he was directly involved in all aspects of the algae-to-fuel value chain from algae harvesting and drying, to extraction, pre-refining and conversion into fuels (primarily diesel and jet fuel, but also gasoline and chemicals).
Brian helped achieve the first US commercial demo flight using an algae oil blend (Continental Airlines, January 7 2009, Houston) and also the coast to coast run of the gasoline-powered “Algaeus” in September 2009. While Vice President of Technology Development at Imperium Renewables in 2007 and 2008, he was responsible for all aspects of new technology and led the team that delivered the first “bio-jet fuel” to fly on a commercial demo flight (Virgin Atlantic, February 24 2008 – London to Amsterdam). As Senior Scientist at specialty chemical manufacturer Rohm & Haas Company from 2002 to 2007, he built a world-class R&D team, built a strong IP portfolio, and raised $3.5 million in external funding for a new program.
Earlier, Dr. Goodall served at B.F. Goodrich, where he defined a new strategic direction for the company resulting in the successful spinoff of electronic materials manufacturer Promerus, and at Royal Dutch/Shell, where he became Shell’s global expert in propylene polymerization catalysis within 18 months of joining the company. He holds more than 80 patents and has helped win federal grants and loan guarantees totaling some $130 million since 1995.
Jose L. Sanchez — Vice President of Growth and Production
Mr. Sanchez is a veteran in the design and field operation of open pond, photobioreactor and dark-growth algae production systems, as well as an experienced executive in product and intellectual property development. An expert in the commercialization algae, he designed Mexico’s first biodiesel plant and advised Mexican lawmakers in the creation of the country’s biofuel industry.
Before joining OriginOil, Jose Sanchez was General Manager of Aurora Mexico, a subsidiary of San Francisco-based Aurora Algae, where he launched Aurora’s Mexico-based field operations, built and opened its R&D facilities, managed initial scale-up endeavors, provided information to decision makers to aid in site selection, and carried out negotiations on land acquisition, water rights and CO2 procurement. Sanchez also introduced landmark Mexican legislation to address the environmental, water management and land use aspects of algae production systems.
In 2007, Sanchez was the founder and CEO of AgroSens, a wireless sensor automation company based in Ensenada, Mexico. From 2006 to 2008 he was Biofuels Research Division Director at LP Bond/CENI2T, also in Ensenada. Earlier, as Engineering Director at furniture manufacturer Good Companies in Tijuana, he managed product development teams in Mexico, China and the USA. He also served from 2001 to 2004 as Computational Analysis and Product Engineer at the Delphi Dynamics & Propulsion Innovation Center in Ciudad Juarez, where he collaborated on two patents and seven records of invention.
Sanchez has a Bachelor’s degree in Science in Mechanical Engineering and an MS in Manufacturing Systems, both from the Instituto Tecnologico de Monterrey. He earned an MS in Environmental Health Management from Harvard University.
