While at Intel's FLASH division, Mr. Winzeler worked in partnership with the general manager to redefine the charter of the division through evaluation of business alternatives, strategic implications, technology requirements and financial outcomes. He put in place a series of processes designed to actively manage profit and loss decisions including inventory management, spending, and profitability and implemented necessary controls to conform to Sarbanes-Oxley 404 reporting requirements. He was also instrumental in the decisions to properly match manufacturing capacity to product demand, resulting in a more fully-utilized capital base.

"Jeff brings a tremendous financial background to IDW, and his tenured experience as a controller in a large-scale manufacturing environment will prove critical to our long-term growth plans. Jeff has a proven track record of leading large international organizations and is an excellent fit for our long term plans," commented Tom Lacey, International DisplayWorks' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Coming from Intel myself, I am confident Jeff will be an ideal match with our corporate culture, and his skills will help the Company to continue its growth trajectory while managing the expense side of the business to improve operational, procurement and manufacturing efficiencies, thereby increasing the leverage in the Company's business plan."

Mr. Lacey continued, "Additionally, with our desire to pursue a NASDAQ NMS listing and our increased exposure to US-based fund managers, it is now appropriate to have our Chief Financial Officer primarily located in our U.S. headquarters. We have installed systems and developed a strong team in our China operations that will make this a seamless transition. We all thank Ian for his professionalism in the job that he did in building capabilities in systems and management and we wish him the best in his future endeavors."

Prior to his position with the FLASH Memory Group, Mr. Winzeler was the Controller for the Penang, Malaysia-based World-Wide Assembly division, where he served as manufacturing controller responsible for Intel's 12,000-employee, world-wide, $1 billion assembly and test operations. Mr. Winzeler managed a finance team of 140 employees located in China, Malaysia, Costa Rica, the Philippines and Ireland.
