NuLife Elects Lou Resweber As Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Oct. 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NuLife Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB: “NULF”) announced today that it has appointed Louis J. Resweber as Chairman of the Board, President & Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
Resweber will replace Sean C. Clarke, who has resigned as Chairman & CEO of NuLife, but will remain a member of the Company’s Board of Directors; and Fred G. Luke, who has resigned as President.
“With the election of Lou Resweber, we have achieved another definitive step toward implementing our planned evolution of NuLife from a life sciences to a life safety and security company,” said Clarke, the outgoing Chairman.
• Strategic Decision:
Eight weeks ago (on August 9, 2018), the Board of Directors of NuLife announced a strategic decision to pursue new lines of business by entering into a merger agreement with two Louisiana-based life safety and electronic security firms, namely LJR Security Services, Inc. (“LJR”) and Gulf West Security Network, Inc. (“Gulf West”), a subsidiary of LJR, both of which were previously privately-held firms, owned solely by Resweber, a long-time veteran of the alarm industry.
Then yesterday (October 8), NuLife announced that is has successfully closed that merger with LJR and Gulf West. A Form 8-K was filed with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) outlining full details of the Agreement.
“I am deeply humbled and truly honored to accept this tremendous responsibility, and to begin working with the current Management Team of NuLife in an effort to lead this Company into a new era of growth and expansion,” said Resweber.
Prior to building LJR and Gulf West, Resweber previously served as a corporate officer, board member and executive consultant to a dozen NYSE and NASDAQ-listed public companies over the past 35 years.
• Alarm Industry Experience:
Most recently, Resweber was Chairman, President & CEO of Pelican Security Network, Inc., and its predecessor firm, Pelican Funding Corporation, which Resweber founded as a ‘start-up’ enterprise and eventually grew into one of the 50 largest providers of alarm monitoring services in the nation, in terms of numbers of customers served.
In the process, Resweber completed more than a dozen successful mergers and acquisitions, and Pelican ultimately expanded to serve more than 20,000 residential, commercial and industrial alarm customers across a seven-state region.
“We are delighted to welcome Lou to our organization,” said Clarke, “and we are fortunate to have recruited someone of Lou’s caliber and experience to spearhead the transformation of NuLife into a leading electronic security provider.”
Resweber added, “The life safety and electronic security alarm industry is a rapidly-growing (but highly-fragmented) industry comprised of more than 14,000 licensed providers (including many small “mom-and-pop” dealers) nationwide, which are collectively generating $22 billion in annualized revenues; and which are simultaneously experiencing both tremendous expansion (new business starts) as well as rapid consolidation (mergers and acquisitions).”
Resweber is a native of Saint Martinville, LA, and a current resident of Scott, LA, in Lafayette Parish, LA.
• Public Company Background:
Previously, Resweber served as Chairman of the Board of Westmark Group Holdings, Inc., where he completed the reorganization of this regional mortgage lender into a nationwide diversified financial concern.
As President & CEO of Network Acquisition Corp., he spearheaded a series of 17 successful mergers and acquisitions to build one of the fastest growing switch-based telecommunications providers in the nation.
And as Senior Vice President of United Companies Financial Corp., he developed a capitalization plan that pushed UC’s stock price from $16 to $132 per share, making it the top growth stock in the U.S. at that time.
Beginning his business career in the energy sector, Resweber is a former Vice President of Arkla Exploration; Vice President of NorAm Energy (now NRG Reliant Energy); Vice President of Entex Gas (now Centerpoint Energy); and an Officer of Celeron Oil & Gas (now Plains All American Pipeline); which merged with Goodyear Tire to build the nation's longest pipeline, twice as long as the Alaskan Pipeline.
A cum laude graduate of the University of Louisiana in Lafayette, Resweber is married to the former Michelle Gaspard of New Iberia, LA, and he and his wife are the proud parents of three grown children:
