Jon French - "I worked with Alan when he was at Nagravision and Nagrastar over a period of approximately 7 years. Alan is an accomplished CEO level executive with a wealth of experience in the Interactive TV / Digital Video Software industry. Alan is equally adept at developing a business, managing the business, building a great team, and with delivering on his commitments to investors and customers. When Alan was at Nagravision, his team delivered to me a complex digital video conditional access system on time, with better features than the competition, and with higher quality than any of our other vendors. And his team clearly enjoyed working for him. Additionally, Alan was a great pleasure to do business with, and his organization was top-notch. He manages relationships with his customers and clients for the long term benefit of all. Then when Alan became CEO of Nagrastar, I worked for him to help build his team. Alan provided me all the information to be effective, was highly responsive, and it was clear he had developed a very professional best-in-class engineering and product development team. Alan also very successfully built and managed a very challenging and complex relationship with Nagrastar's investors and customers. I did not work with Alan when he ran OpenTV, but his reputation in the industry remains exceptionally strong. Alan is a real pro. I recommend him most highly."   (Jon French, CTO TechTalent Consulting and TeamBuilding Inc.  818-991-3325)

He is the type of leader that will expand and grow a company, keep an eye on the bottom line while taking good care of his employees."
