AKHAN appoints vice admiral Charles W. Moore Jr to board

AKHAN Semiconductor Inc of Gurnee, IL, USA – which was founded in 2013 and specializes in the fabrication and application of lab-grown, electronics-grade diamond as functional semiconductors –has appointed vice admiral Charles W. Moore Jr to its board of directors.

Moore is a 36-year veteran of the United States Navy, who began his military career as a Naval Aviator and rose to the rank of vice admiral serving as the deputy chief of naval operations for Fleet Readiness and Logistics and as commander of the United States Fifth Fleet and commander of the US Naval Forces Central Command headquartered in the Middle East in Bahrain.

“The technology developed by private companies is crucial to the United States Military’s success, and AKHAN’s Miraj Diamond technology is critical in that it can be applied to a number of capabilities to increase durability and efficiency,” comments Moore.

On retiring from the US Navy in 2004, Moore joined Lockheed Martin as vice president, F-35 Program Assessment. Subsequently, he was VP, global sustainment and president of Lockheed Martin Middle East and Africa. After retiring from Lockheed Martin in 2013, Moore joined the Dodsal Group, where he was chairman and president of Dodsal Resources (an oil and gas exploration and production company in the Dodsal Group). He also served as chairman of Dodsal Group’s executive board, before retiring from Dodsal in 2016.

“As AKHAN continues to apply our Miraj Diamond technology to more military and defense capabilities, vice admiral Moore will be instrumental in identifying new opportunities and helping us refine the technology to ensure we’re providing solutions that meet the United States military's needs,” says founder & CEO Adam Khan.
