Haig Keledjian, JD, Chief Executive Officer
Mr. Keledjian brings to VG Energy his experience in founding and managing our parent company, VG Life Sciences, Inc., where he has been instrumental in guiding the growth and development of that company, having acted as its Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President since the 1995 founding. He has overseen the completion of our parent’s human clinical trials, the creation of its global intellectual property portfolio – including the in-licensing of our Metabolic Disruption Technology from the University of Colorado and the University of Vermont – and all financing activities. He oversaw the operations and development of VG Energy while it was a division of VG Life Sciences and now assumes the head of the newly-formed subsidiary as it establishes itself as a separate entity. Mr. Keledjian is a California attorney and prior to joining VG Life Sciences, he practiced tax and estate law.
Michael Binnion, CA, Director
Mr. Michael Binnion, who has made a substantial investment in VG Energy, is a seasoned entrepreneur with a history of starting, financing and managing companies, primarily in the oil and gas sector. Currently the President and founding shareholder of Questerre Energy, a public oil and gas production company operating in Quebec, he was formerly President of CanArgo Energy, one of the first Western companies to engage in oil and gas exploration in the Republic of Georgia. CanArgo played an active role in helping introduce legislation and a regulatory framework for the oil and gas industry in the country. This experience in a nascent energy sector is expected to be brought to bear as VG Energy grows with the burgeoning algal biofuels sector.
