Certain Officers.
On
May 22, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of AERWINS Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Katie
Field and Pavan Gill as independent members of the Board.
Ms.
Field’s background includes positions spanning both the private and public sectors and brings a wealth of experience and expertise
in strategy consulting and executive leadership. She has held prominent positions at renowned organizations such as The White House in
the office of the public liaison, The Brookings Institution as a manager of operations, and Bain & Company as a consultant. In 2014,
Ms. Field entered the cannabis industry and played a pivotal role in the procurement, build-out, and sale of one of the original vertically
integrated licensed medical marijuana treatment centers in Florida. Subsequently, she operated a strategy consulting practice focused
on cannabis and served as Executive Vice President of Corporate Development at MariMed in 2018. Ms. Field holds an MBA from Columbia
Business School and a BA with honors from Stanford University.
Mr.
Gill brings a wealth of experience and expertise in civil construction, environmental management, and innovative product implementation
to AERWINS. As an engineer, Mr. Gill has managed numerous high-value projects, demonstrating his strong project management skills and
ability to deliver exceptional results. Throughout his career, Pavan Gill has been involved in various key projects, including the Shell
Waterton butte sump reclamation project, the TC Energy Station 92 compressor station demolition and remediation, the City of Calgary
Kensington Manor demolition, the TC Energy Buffalo Creek compressor station installation and remediation, and the TC Energy Wolf Lake
compressor station demolition. His extensive experience in managing multi-disciplinary teams, overseeing project schedules and budgets,
and ensuring regulatory compliance has contributed to the success of these projects. Additionally, Mr. Gill’s keen understanding
of emerging technologies and their practical applications will be invaluable in driving AERWINS’ commitment to innovation and further
advancing its position as a leader in the industry.
Compensation
arrangements for Ms. Field and Mr. Gil are the subject of ongoing development and the Company will make appropriate additional disclosures
as they are further developed and formalized.
