Weygand fills the vacancy left by the resignation of Matthew Jennings on March 7.
As of January 22, Kenneth L. Waggoner was also elected to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of ChinaTel and appointed to the position of Vice President and General Counsel of ChinaTel, effective January 12.
Weygand and Waggoner will stand for election for a full one-year term at the next annual shareholders meeting. The Board of Directors has a total of five members, including George Alvarez, Mario Alvarez, Colin Tay, Ken Waggoner, and Robert Weygand.
Waggoner has more than 35 years of legal and management experience. Prior to becoming a member of ChinaTel Group's senior management team, he was the Executive Director and Chief Legal Counsel of the Trussnet Group companies in Asia and the Vice President and General Counsel of the Trussnet companies in the United States.
Waggoner was a senior partner with the international law firm of Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison from 1986 to 2002, where he served on the firm's Policy Committee and Executive Committee for many years, and as the Managing Partner of the firm's Los Angeles office. Previously, he was a partner with the law firm of Lawler, Felix & Hall, where he also served on its Executive Committee and as the Managing Partner of that firm's Orange County, California office.
In 2002, Waggoner became ChevronTexaco's Vice President and General Counsel of its Global Downstream operations.
Weygand has more than 31 years of executive management, strategic planning and marketing experience. He was most recently CEO of Sanicor International, a consultant firm and distributor for Japan and other Asian manufacturers in the sanitary ware and plumbing industry.
With nearly 20 years of previous experience with Hydrabaths/Weberg Group in the sanitary ware markets, Weygand fine-tuned his expertise in business management and operations, as well as strategic planning and marketing, which led to the development of relationships necessary to bring business to and from overseas.
He also consulted with several Fortune 500 companies in the industry, such as American Standard, Kohler and Toto, and was key in expanding the industry to the Asian markets.
In the 1990s, Weygand attained 10 years of experience in residential construction across the Pacific Rim region, as a developer and consultant. He then focused on technology markets where he began working with Velocitel, a wireless network services company. As Vice President of Strategic Planning and Marketing for Velocitel, he originated strategic marketing and operations plans as well as policies and systems for all nationwide and international locations.
Weygand's experience with senior management at Velocitel led to his next venture with Trussnet USA, a provider of architectural and engineering services, telecommunication networks, high-tech facilities, turn-key development projects and business hotels.
