VIJAY MALLYA 50 years old
Chairman of United Breweries
UB Group
Vijay Mallya, 50, was elected as Chairman of United Breweries by shareholders, following the demise of his late father in 1983 at the young age of 28.

Prior to being entrusted with the responsibilities of a classical Indian corporate conglomerate, Vijay Mallya worked for the American Hoechst Corporation (now Sanofi-Aventis) in the USA and with Jenson & Nicholson in the U.K. Since 1980, he assisted his father, then Chairman of The UB Group in managing the important Brewing and Spirits Divisions and in re-launching the Kingfisher Brand of Beer. In 1983, the sales volume of the UB Spirits division was approximately 2.85 million cases and UB’s beer business trailed behind that of Golden Eagle from Mohan Meakins. Also included in the Group were activities such as Pharmaceuticals, Agrochemicals, Paints, Petrochemicals and Plastics, the manufacture of Electro-mechanical Batteries, the manufacture of food products and carbonated beverages, a fast-food Pizza chain and several medium and small scale industrial units.

Upon assuming the position of Chairman in October 1983, Vijay Mallya initiated the process of defining a corporate structure with performance accountability, inducting professional management and consolidating the unwieldy empire into individual operating divisions.

In 1988, Vijay Mallya became a non-resident Indian to pursue global opportunities and to transform The UB Group into India’s first multinational. While, in the initial stages, overseas representative offices had been commissioned, the real break was in 1988 when Vijay Mallya, in a leveraged buyout acquired the global Berger Paints Group with operating companies across four continents. The exit strategy for this investment was profitably executed when Vijay Mallya successfully directed five Initial Public Offerings on the London, Singapore (Main Boards), Nairobi, Jamaica and Abidjan Stock Exchanges. The paints business was divested for significant value in 1996.

Vijay Mallya also founded a software company in the USA in 1993 which was subsequently listed on the NASDAQ in 1996 and which provides a considerable window of opportunity to the vast US market. He also initiated several ventures for the promotion and globalization of UB brands and, in particular, Kingfisher and McDowell.

In 1990, following the Government of India’s liberalised economic policies, Vijay Mallya decided that the UB Group would only retain interests in businesses that were globally competitive and which did not depend upon fiscal tariff protection. He also decided to focus on areas of core competence and transformed the vastly diversified UB conglomerate into a handful of key operating businesses.

On entering the new millennium, The UB Group is considerably more focused and has dramatically increased value for its shareholders through its various operating businesses. Sales of the UB Spirits Division have exceeded 60 million cases (9 litres each) during the fiscal year 2005-06 making the UB Group, the third largest beverage alcohol company in the world. In addition, this Division is one of only three in the world to own seven millionaire brands and at least five brands rated by Drinks International, UK to be amongst the ten fastest growing brands in the world in their respective categories. The market share of the Spirits Division in India is currently 60% and exports to the Middle East, Africa and Asian countries are growing rapidly.

The UB Group’s Brewing Division has also assumed undisputed market leadership with a national market share in excess of 50%. Through a process of aggressive acquisition and market penetration, The UB Group today controls 60% of the total manufacturing capacity for Beer in India. The flagship brand, Kingfisher is now sold in over 50 countries worldwide having received many accolades for its quality.

The newest venture of The UB Group is in Civil Aviation. After the initial launch of UB Air in 1990, Vijay Mallya decided to take advantage of the attractive growth opportunities for Civil Aviation in India, leverage the equity of the Superbrand “Kingfisher” and utilize the strength of The UB Group in consumer product marketing. Kingfisher Airlines Limited launched scheduled Airline services on May 9, 2005 with 4 flights a day with one brand new Airbus A-320 aircraft.

Today, Kingfisher Airlines operates a fleet of 14 brand new aircraft with over 86 flights daily connecting 17 Indian cities. Kingfisher Airlines offers unparalleled service at True Value and delivers a delightful experience to the Indian air traveler. For the first time in the Indian skies, Kingfisher Airlines offers World class in-flight entertainment with personal video screens in every seat. In addition, gourmet meals and cabin crew of International standards make up a unique Kingfisher Class experience. Kingfisher Airlines has also recently launched Kingfisher First, a premium cabin that’s easily the finest way to travel in the Indian skies.

In just 10 months from launch, Kingfisher Airlines has received 3 International Awards. The first was the “Best New Airline of the year award in the Asia Pacific and Middle East region” given by the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation. The second was the “Skytrax award for service excellence”. Skytrax, London is the leading independent research and quality evaluation agency for the World Air Transport Industry. The latest addition to the list of laurels is the “Best New Domestic Airline for Excellent Services and Cuisine” award from Pacific Area Travel Writers Association (PATWA), one of the biggest travel writers’ organizations in the world.

Kingfisher Airlines has already notched up a market share of 7.6% in India and has ordered 30 Airbus A-320 aircraft, 5 Airbus A-330 aircraft, 5 Airbus A-340 aircraft, 5 Airbus A-350 aircraft and 5 Airbus A-380 super-jumbo aircraft. In addition to the same, Kingfisher Airlines has also ordered 35 ATR 72-500 turboprop aircraft to cater to its growth and route expansion plans till 2012.

Vijay Mallya is the Chairman of public companies both in India as well as in the USA. He has been the Chairman of Aventis Pharma India (previously Hoechst) as well as the Chairman of Bayer CropScience in India (previously Agrevo) for over 20 years, in addition to his Chairmanship of several other corporations.

Vijay Mallya has received several professional awards both in India and overseas. He was also conferred a Doctorate of Philosophy in Business Administration, by the Southern California University, Irvine. He has also been nominated as a Global Leader for Tomorrow by the World Economic Forum.

He is a keen sportsman and is an ardent aviator and yachtsman of distinction. He not only participates in various sporting events but also supports various sporting activities worldwide, particularly for the under privileged.

Vijay Mallya has always believed that Corporations have a responsibility to society and mankind. To this end, he has contributed generously to various Charities and Foundations in several countries in addition to establishing The Mallya Hospital, The Mallya-Aditi School and the Vittal Mallya Scientific Research Foundation in Bangalore, India.

Washington, DC – Oct. 17, 2005:

Lockheed Martin Vice President Lorraine Martin has assumed the role of chairman of the executive council of the Network Centric Operations Industry Consortium (NCOIC), succeeding Carl O'Berry of Boeing, whose one-year term has concluded. Martin has been the vice chairman for the past year.

"The NCOIC today has 80 members, with more in the process of joining," said Martin. "During our first year of operation, we have developed a solid, 19-member advisory council, led by former Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology Paul Kaminski; we've formalized affiliate relationships with several consortia performing complementary activities, such as the Association for Enterprise Integration (AFEI) and the World Wide Consortium for the Grid (W2COG); and we are within weeks of finalizing the first version of our interoperability framework," she said. "As we begin our second year of operation, we will continue to give full priority to serving our customer markets through technical products that enable our member companies to offer net-centric capabilities. We also continue to solicit the participation of members from the U.S., Europe, the Asia Pacific region, and other worldwide regions.

Leadership positions in the NCOIC are held for a period of one year, after which vice chairmen assume the role of chairmen, and chairmen become chairmen emeriti. The NCOIC consists of three primary councils: executive, technical and business. The NCOIC is in the process of electing Martin's successor as vice chairman of the executive council. The technical council is currently chaired by an IBM representative, co-chaired by a Boeing representative, and the business council is chaired by an Oracle representative and co-chaired by a Sun Microsystems representative. All appointments are made via a general election process.

Martin joined Lockheed Martin in 1988 and specializes in networks and network security. She is vice president of Flight Solutions within Lockheed Martin Simulation, Training and Support, which includes aircrew training for the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command, C130 aircrew training, F16, F22 and F15 pilot training, flight simulation systems for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, and the Joint Strike Fighter training system. Previous assignments include vice president of Aerospace Information Operations, responsible for U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Unified Command C2 community programs.

AEA CHAIRMAN FOR 2006
AEA
WOLFGANG MAYRHUBER APPOINTED AEA CHAIRMAN FOR 2006
The Association of European Airlines, which represents 30 major airlines in Europe,has announced that Wolfgang Mayrhuber, CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board of Lufthansa, will be the Association’s Chairman for 2006.
Wolfgang Mayrhuber takes over the chair of AEA from Fernando Pinto, CEO of TAP Portugal. Mr. Pinto has steered the AEA through an eventful year which has seen the industry impacted by runaway fuel prices, costly and ambiguous consumer-protection legislation, and repeated attempts to impose taxes for questionable political objectives. Nevertheless, through prudent management and an ongoing strong public demand for a quality product, the full-service network airlines have managed to maintain the tempo of recovery which materialised in 2004.
“We expect important developments in Europe’s external aviation relations. It is crucial that our decision-makers act in the best interests of European airlines and their customers. The challenges facing our industry are stronger than ever,” Mr. Mayrhuber said. “By the end of 2006 we should know what awaits us in terms of political action on our environmental performance. The decisions taken this year could secure our future, or jeopardise it. The industry´s positive contribution towards economic and social welfare has to be fairly acknowledged.” The AEA is calling for a coherent air transportation policy to enhance European airline competitiveness for the future. Any further regulation, which could additionally cause distortions in the global aviation market, needs to be avoided. A consistent EU aviation policy must also include airports, air traffic control, and other service providers. “The entire service chain must become more efficient,” Mr. Mayrhuber stressed.
“I look forward to facing these and other challenges with the support of the other AEA Presidents, the vast resources of expertise which are to be found among the member airlines, and the energetic and committed AEA Secretariat in Brussels”, he added.
Wolfgang Mayrhuber’s career at Lufthansa has spanned more than 35 years. After holding a variety of management posts in the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) division, he was elected Chairman of the Executive Board of Lufthansa Technik AG in 1994. In 2001, he was appointed to the Executive Board of Deutsche Lufthansa AG with responsibility for the passenger airline business. On June 2003, he took up his position as Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO of Deutsche Lufthansa AG. As such, he is responsible for the aviation group, which comprises the Passenger Business, Logistics, MRO, Catering, Leisure Travel and IT Services segments and has about 90,000 employees worldwide.

Recipient of the Air Force Meritorious Service Medal, First Oak Leaf Cluster; Air Medal, First Oak Leaf Cluster; Aerial Achievement Medal, First Oak Leaf Cluster; and Expeditionary Medal, First Oak Leaf Cluster

Melroy was commissioned through the Air Force ROTC program in 1983. After completing a master’s degree, she attended Undergraduate Pilot Training at Reese Air Force Base in Lubbock, Texas and was graduated in 1985. She flew the KC-10 for six years at Barksdale Air Force Base in Bossier City, Louisiana, as a copilot, aircraft commander and instructor pilot. Melroy is a veteran of JUST CAUSE and DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM, with over 200 combat and combat support hours. In June 1991, she attended the Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base, California. Upon her graduation, she was assigned to the C-17 Combined Test Force, where she served as a test pilot until her selection for the astronaut program. She has logged over 5,000 hours flight time in over 50 different aircraft. Melroy retired from the Air Force in February 2007.

NASA EXPERIENCE: Selected as an astronaut candidate by NASA in December 1994, Melroy reported to the Johnson Space Center in March 1995. She completed a year of training and evaluation and was qualified for flight assignment as a shuttle pilot. Initially assigned to astronaut support duties for launch and landing, she also worked Advanced Projects for the Astronaut Office. She also performed CAPCOM duties in mission control. Melroy served on the Columbia Reconstruction Team as the lead for the crew module and served as deputy project manager for the Columbia crew survival investigation team. In her final position, she served as branch chief for the Orion branch of the Astronaut Office. Melroy served as pilot on two flights (STS-92 in 2000 and STS-112 in 2002), and was the mission commander on STS-120 in 2007. She has logged over 924 hours (over 38 days) in space. Pam Melroy left the agency in August 2009 and currently serves as Deputy Program Manager, Space Exploration Initiatives, Lockheed Martin.

SPACE FLIGHT EXPERIENCE: STS-92 Discovery (October 11-24, 2000) was launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida and returned to land at Edwards Air Force Base, California. During the 13-day flight, the seven member crew attached the Z1 Truss and Pressurized Mating Adapter 3 to the International Space Station using Discovery’s robotic arm and performed four space walks to configure these elements. This expansion of the ISS opened the door for future assembly missions and prepared the station for its first resident crew. The STS-92 mission was accomplished in 202 orbits, traveling 5.3 million miles in 12 days, 21 hours, 40 minutes and 25 seconds.

STS-112 Atlantis (October 7-18, 2002) launched from and returned to land at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida. STS-112 was an International Space Station assembly mission during which the crew conducted joint operations with the Expedition-5 by delivering and installing the S1 Truss (the third piece of the station's 11-piece Integrated Truss Structure). It took three spacewalks to outfit and activate the new component, during which Melroy acted as internal spacewalk choreographer. STS-112 was the first shuttle mission to use a camera on the External Tank, providing a live view of the launch to flight controllers and NASA TV viewers. The mission was accomplished in 170 orbits, traveling 4.5 million miles in 10 days, 19 hours, and 58 minutes.

STS-120 Discovery (October 23-November 7, 2007) launched from and returned to land at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida. During the mission, the Node 2 element named “Harmony” was delivered to the International Space Station. This element opened up the capability for future international laboratories to be added to the station. In addition, the P6 Solar Array was re-located from the Z1 Truss to the end of the port side of the Integrated Truss Structure. During the re-deploy of the array, the array panels snagged and were damaged. An unplanned spacewalk was successfully performed to repair the array. The mission was accomplished in 238 orbits, traveling 6.2 million miles in 15 days, 2 hours, and 23 minutes.

Frank MOORE
lead executive for the A C S Program
Northrop Grumman Corporation
Northrop Grumman Corporation announced today the addition of Frank Moore as lead executive for the Aerial Common Sensor (ACS) program. Northrop Grumman is leading a team competing for the U.S. Army's ACS program, an airborne platform that will provide the warfighter with actionable intelligence, reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition capability.


Moore reports to Philip Teel, corporate vice president and president of Northrop Grumman Mission Systems sector and works with Dan Allen, sector vice president and general manager of Intelligence, Reconnaissance and Surveillance (ISR) division for Northrop Grumman Mission Systems.

"ACS is a key pursuit for our company, and Frank's expertise leading large integration projects for the U.S. military is a good match for this complex program. He will bring the right leadership to our team as we develop a solid, risk-managed solution using an incremental development approach," said Teel. "He has a strong record of leadership across a diverse set of major U.S. Department of Defense development and acquisition programs."

The ACS team will leverage Moore's experience as the current vice president and general manager of the Missile Defense Division, where he directs and integrates all sector programs in support of strategic deterrent and missile defense missions. Key to the ACS pursuit is Moore's successful experience managing airborne ISR programs for Northrop Grumman, where he led development, production, integration, and sustainment activities.

Prior to joining the company, Moore had a distinguished 31-year career in the U.S. Air Force, retiring with the rank of Major General. He held a series of key positions managing development and acquisition programs and served as Program Executive Officer for Bombers, Missiles, and Trainers. Moore also served as Director of Special Programs for the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology and Deputy Director of Defense Threat Reduction Agency.

Moore earned a Bachelor of Science degree in aeronautical engineering from the U.S. Air Force Academy and a master's in business administration from the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce at the University of Pennsylvania. He is a graduate of the Air War College and has completed the program management course at Defense Systems Management College and the national security leadership course at Johns Hopkins and Syracuse Universities.

ACS will be a unique, next-generation intelligence, reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition aircraft, which will -- from the moment it arrives over the battlefield -- provide commanders in theater and troops on the ground with critical situational intelligence. ACS will detect troop movements and intercept communications and radar transmissions, allowing the Army to direct dominant and effective firepower before enemy forces know they have been detected.

John P. MULHOLLAND
Space Shuttle vice president and program manager
The Boeing Company
The Boeing Company has named veteran NASA space shuttle engineer John P. Mulholland its new Space Shuttle vice president and program manager. With more than more than 21 years of experience in space shuttle propulsion, systems and subsystem design, including 15 years with NASA, Mulholland is responsible for the overall direction and successful execution of Boeing's Space Shuttle program.

"John has the perfect blend of engineering expertise and leadership attributes for the Space Shuttle program," said Brewster Shaw, Boeing Space Exploration vice president and general manager. "His deep understanding of the customer will be vital in completing the remaining shuttle missions and International Space Station (ISS) construction."

It is a busy year for the space shuttle and its new leader with six scheduled launches in 2008.

"The upcoming launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis in February will be a complex assembly mission, and the Boeing shuttle team is poised for success," says Mulholland.

During the 11-day mission, the STS-122 crew will deliver the European Space Agency's Columbus Research Laboratory, and Atlantis will use new microchip technology flow sensors for the first time.

Supporting United Space Alliance, NASA's prime contractor for space shuttle operations, Boeing provides design engineering and support for the shuttle.
