| About Chris Bakken | | Mr. Bakken has over 20 years of management, start-up, operations, and sales & marketing experience. His industry experience ranges from specialty chemicals, biotechnology, the baking industry, and start-up consulting. Mr. Bakken set up Asian operations in Singapore and from that base built an overseas sales organization from the ground up for Buckman Laboratories, a leading international specialty chemical manufacturer. Ultimately Mr. Bakken served as the Division Manager for East Asia. | | Upon returning home, Mr. Bakken was presented with the challenge of growing micro algae in Oregon by an investment group. He was instrumental in securing investor funding and built the infrastructure and technical and production team that transformed the idea into a reality. Mr. Bakken then went on to be a key player in the vertical integration of a national baking mix R&D firm that lead to its acquisition by Cargill. A consulting position introduced Mr. Bakken to the green and renewable energy segment and in that role built what was the largest electric car dealership in the US. The experience led him to start Rogue Energy with the aim of providing the next generation batteries to the US market. In late 2008 Rogue Energy was part of a three way merger with SynkroMotive LLC and Shorepower Technologies focused on the design, build, and marketing of electric vehicle charging stations. | | As the President and Chief Strategy Officer for SynkroMotive he is very active in the State’s effort to become the leader in electric transportation infrastructure. He has consulted to various renewable energy start ups providing local management and operations expertise. Mr. Bakken holds a BS in Marine Biology from Oregon State University. |
