B: Bienvenidos a Pccuartoconeccion - Solar Communications Group, Inc. Moves to
Take PCRoomLink Global With the Appointment of Paul Hager as Senior Vice
President of International Business
MILLVILLE, N.J., Oct 19, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Former National Security Agency Executive And International
Business Consultant To Introduce The PCRoomLink(tm) Travel
Productivity System Around The World
James M. Rossi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Solar
Communications Group, Inc. today announced the appointment of Paul R.
Hager as Senior Vice President of International Business.
"Paul has an exceptional background in international telecommunications
infrastructure, product introduction in emerging markets and
acquisition of venture capital," said Rossi. "Market reach beyond the
United States is key to our goal to become an industry leader in terms
of computing, commerce, telecommunications and Internet technology for
travelers. With this being so critical to our success, I'm extremely
pleased to have an executive of Paul's caliber on board."
Most recently, Hager has concurrently served as a co-founder and Senior
Partner of two Baltimore-based consulting companies, The Venture Group
and The Bolton Group, LLC. Hager helped to found The Venture Group, a
management consulting firm focusing on international business
structures/strategies, in 1992 with three of his Wharton School MBA
classmates. With The Bolton Group LLC, Hager specialized in designing
and implementing urban real estate investment syndications.
Prior to starting these two consulting firms, Hager served for eight
years as the Special Assistant to the Director of the National Security
Agency where he directed a staff of over 2,000 in research and capital
investment activities related to international telecommunications
infrastructure, including the analysis of international Information
Technology needs and capabilities.
Hager's governmental and consulting accomplishments are substantial.
During his career, he has secured over $100 million in venture capital
for start-up companies, played a key role in the design and negotiation
of a $300 million international technology development program, and
wrote a decisive business plan for a Fortune 500 company that led to
its entry into the lucrative Chinese market.
Hager's academic accomplishments are equally impressive. He holds an
MBA in Finance from The Wharton School of Business, an MPA from Harvard
University, as well as cum laude Bachelor's Degrees in both
Mathematics/Computer Science and Psychology from the University of
North Carolina.
In his new role, Hager will develop management offices in four regions
around the world: Europe, Asia, Middle East & Africa and South &
Central America in an effort to provide PCRoomLink to both Americans
traveling in those regions as well as to businesspeople operating
within those markets.
"While telecommunications is rather advanced in the United States, we
created PCRoomLink because no one was utilizing tools like the advances
in the Internet and network systems to make business travel easier and
more productive," said Rossi. "Around the world and particularly in
emerging markets, telecommunications infrastructure is not so advanced,
so there's even more demand for services that assist business
travelers. We have no doubt that PCRoomLink will be just as well
received around the world as it has been here in the US."
