NetWork Installation
(OTC BB: NWKI) Lands Big Fish To Run Company |
|
NetWork Installation has landed
one of the biggest fish in the wireless industry to run the company. After
the market closed today, NWKI announced former advisor Jeffrey
Hultman has agreed to become the new CEO.
Hultman has an unparalleled
history of accomplishment in the wireless sector. Here's a quick recap
of his resume. More details below in today's press release:
-
Former CEO of PacTel from
1987 to 1991. The company grew from $100 million to $1 billion in
sales under his direction. PacTel became AirTouch, and was
eventually bought out by Verizon in the US. Vodafone bought the European
operation.
-
In 1991, Hultman became CEO of Dial
Page. He managed 450 employees and the company grew to over $75 million
in annual revenues. Dial Page went public through a $50 million IPO. Over
time, Hultman completed another $650 million in additional financing and
eventually merged the company with Multi Media Communications. Multi Media
was then bought out by NexTel Communications in 1996. The combined
value of the transactions was over $1 billion.
-
Since 1996 Mr. Hultman has been doing
some consulting in to the wireless industry and serves on the boards of
several organization.
In light of this new development,
I believe it is fair to assume NWKI is headed for bigger and better
corporate events. Just exactly what those might be I can't say for sure.
Based on the new CEO's track record, it's fair to assume he's not taking
the job to run a $10 million company. Where we go from here is anybody's
guess. My guess is there will be some large scale favorable events in the
future.
With regard to the chart, there's
really not much change from the last several editions. The uptrend which
began last August continues. The stock has really been grinding in a range
since December, so it is due to break one way or the other at some point
in the future.
This stock tends to drift down on
light volume days, and surge on heavier volume days. This indicates the
stock is under accumulation.
In light of the recent developments
which include a number of VoIP installations, the award of the ComCast
contract for the huge Playa Vista Community Project in West LA, and the
new CEO, I believe the still will break to the upside at some point in
the future. It's just a question of when. A little patience might pay off
handsomely with this one.
Here is the complete text of today's
release for your review:

Network Installation Corp.
Network Installation
Appoints Ex-Pac Tel Cellular CEO as Its New Chief Executive Officer
Monday March 7, 4:05
pm ET
IRVINE, Calif., March
7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Network Installation Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board:
NWKI - News) today announced that former Pac Tel Cellular CEO Jeffrey Hultman
was appointed as its new Chief Executive Officer.
Network Installation
Chairman Michael Novielli stated, "Over the past two years, Network Installation
has made tremendous progress evolving from a development stage venture
into a full fledged enterprise with a robust pipeline. We believe the Company
is now positioned for accelerated revenue growth and consequently requires
the moxie of a seasoned veteran to achieve such critical mass. Given Jeff's
remarkable track record spearheading not one, but two successful wireless
communications companies during his career, we could not have chosen a
more capable individual." He added, "Additionally, we have nothing but
extreme gratitude for an entrepreneur such as Michael Cummings, who steered
us from our early stages to the favorable position we find ourselves today."
Incoming Network Installation
CEO Jeffrey Hultman added, "This is a rare opportunity to join a highly
seasoned professional team with a business that is poised to expand very
rapidly. I now know how Joe Torre felt when he took over the New York Yankees.
I intend to apply knowledge gained from my past experiences growing communications
businesses, to achieve yet another success with Network Installation."
Michael Cummings commented,
"I am very proud of our accomplishments over the past two years. As the
Company's largest shareholder, I will continue to offer my assistance to
Jeff and the rest of the management team. We have always acted in the best
interest our shareholders, and bringing in an operator who has the experience
to navigate us through a period of expected rapid growth, is certainly
a testament to that." He added, "It has also been a fantastic experience
working these past two years with our venture investors at Dutchess Capital
Management. They were truly instrumental in assisting in all facets of
Network Installation's growth as a business and a public company. I am
looking forward to a bright future for our Company."
Mr. Hultman was also
appointed a member of the Company's Board of Directors. Mr. Cummings will
retain his position as a Director.
From 1987 to 1991, Jeff
Hultman served as CEO of Pac Tel Cellular where he managed Pac Tel cellular
properties in the United States and oversaw operations and business development
which included over 2,500 employees in Atlanta, Detroit, Los Angeles, Oakland,
Sacramento, San Diego, and San Francisco. During his tenure as CEO, revenues
increased from $100 million to over $1 billion in three years. He directed
Pac Tel's successful efforts to win the West Germany and United Kingdom
PCS licenses over a dozen other applicants on the strength of a superior
business plan and detailed technical system design for both countries.
Pac Tel Cellular later became AirTouch Cellular, and is now Verizon Wireless
in the U.S. and Vodafone overseas.
In 1991, Mr. Hultman
became CEO of Dial Page, Inc., a wireless provider throughout the Southeast,
offering paging and digital mobile telephone services. While at Dial Page,
he expanded the paging operations throughout seven states by multiple acquisitions
and internal growth and achieved a cumulative growth rate in paging of
20% per year, increasing pagers in service from 148,000 to 360,000. He
managed over 450 employees and achieved revenues of over $75 million with
38% margins and average revenue per pager of $21, approximately double
the industry. Ultimately, Mr. Hultman converted a series of limited partnerships
into a corporation and took Dial Page public leading four successful public
offerings which raised over $50 million in public and private equity sales,
$650 million through public sale and private placement of high yield debt.
In August 1995, he successfully negotiated the sale of the paging business
to MobileMedia Communication, Inc. and a merger of subsidiary Dial Call
with Nextel Communications, Inc. in February 1996. Combined value of these
two transactions was in excess of $1 billion. Mr. Hultman attained his
Bachelor of Science Degree in Agricultural Economics in 1961 and Master
of Science Degree, in Business Management in 1962, at the University of
California, Davis. He currently serves a director on the board of several
organizations including Comarco Inc., an Irvine, CA-based wireless performance
engineering company.
