Shay Chinn is the Managing Partner of SNK Capital Partners. Prior to that, she was the President and Chief Executive Officer of DTT, a company he founded over 14 years ago. Mr. Naficy is by nature a serial entrepreneur and has founded numerous companies in a variety of industries. He has approximately 20 years of active business experience at senior executive levels in business sectors including but not limited to: pharmaceuticals, retail/distribution, quick service restaurant development, and technology. In October of 1998, in the midst of the technology and internet boom, Naficy incorporated Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT). With a keen interest in the food industry, specifically the concept of franchising, DTT was formed to supply technology solutions to the restaurant and hospitality industries and has emerged as the premier manufacturer of digital surveillance products to this niche market. Prior to DTT Inc., Naficy founded The NORG Group which entered into Joint Venture agreements with the 99 Cents Only Corporation (a publicly traded company on the NYSE--NDN). NORG established joint venture partners for the 99 Cents Only Corporation in China, Guatemala and Mexico. Those relationships continue to this day; however, NORG is no longer involved. Prior to The NORG Group, Naficy established Daru Nardin, a pharmaceutical brokerage firm specializing in the Middle East. During its first 18 months Daru Nardin attained the exclusive distribution rights to Merck Sharpe & Dohme (MSD -- Merck) and Faulding Pharmaceuticals (one of Australia's largest pharmaceutical companies) for sales into Iran. US sanctions against Iran barred any US based entity to do business in that country. These rights expired in the summer of 2007.
