PAPPAS ENTREPRENEURIAL LEADERSHIP SERIES, FALL 2009

“Life Before and After IPO”

Mr. Dustin Shindo, President and CEO, Hoku Scientific

Mr. Dustin Shindo at 27 years of age co-founded Hoku Scientific in 2001, to manufacture fuel cell membranes for the emerging alternative energy sector. In August 2005, Dustin took Hoku Scientific public on Nasdaq and began a trajectory of growth and expansion including the building of a plant to produce polysilicon for his international and national customers.  The journey from startup to IPO and beyond is peppered with triumphs and challenges for Dustin and his partners.  Dustin will tell his remarkable story, and share the lessons and experiences with us. 

Dustin received an MBA from the Darden School of Business Administration at the University of Virginia, and earned a BA in Accounting from the University of Washington.

There will be refreshments following the presentation and discussion.
