FRANK
CARR MBA,
MPhil, FAIM, FInstD.
Executive Chairman
Mr
Carr has been a company director for over thirty years and has
extensive experience in management, corporate advisory, and business
recovery activities. He has directed many successful initial
public offerings and stock exchange listings in Australia, New Zealand
and the USA. As joint founder and managing director of Miniskips
Limited in May 1985, he was responsible for the then most successful
entrant to the Australian Stock Exchange. On his resignation in
December 1986 the company’s market capitalisation had grown from $3
million to $130 million, it had established a new market segment within
the waste industry in Australia and New Zealand, and had received the
Australian Marketing Institute award for that year.
In 1988 Mr Carr took control of Ampersand International Limited which
he restructured and renamed Southern Group Limited. When he
resigned as CEO in 1993, the Company had been operating profitably for
two years and had received numerous awards for technical, marketing,
and export achievements. After an absence of 2 years, in August
1995, he was asked to again assume control as CEO in order to rescue
the Company from insolvency. He again effected the corporate and
financial restructure of the Company [which in 1997 he renamed Voicenet
(Aust) Ltd] and in May 2000 he again resigned from the board and the
Company. During the period of his stewardship the company’s fully
diluted market capitalisation grew from $3 million to $600 million and
a $10,000 investment, held from the time of his appointment as CEO in
August 1995 to the time of his departure from the company in May 2000,
including bonus issues, had increased in value to $700,000.
In 1996 he became the founding Chairman and CEO of Voicenet, Inc
(‘VNI’) in the USA. The following year he completed an IPO of
US$6 million for VNI and listed it on the NASDAQ Bulletin Board.
In July 2000 he elevated VNI to a listing on the American Stock
Exchange with a market capitalisation of US$132 million and in October
2000 he resigned from the Board and severed his connection with the
Company.
He is a recipient of the Australian
Entrepreneur of the Year Award, holds master's degrees in
both Business Administration (CSU) and Economics (Murd.) and is a
Fellow of the
Australian Institute of
Management and of the Institute of Directors (U.K.). He is also
currently
