To Whom It May Concern:

May 22, 2019

I have been fortunate to work professionally with Thor Daniel Hjaltason for the past four years.  Thor is a consummate professional and highly organized.  We have worked together actively on the South Korean GigaTera project for the entire period in my dual capacity as the Economic Development Consultant for the City of Vineland, New Jersey, and through my firm MGR2 for Governmental Affairs. We considered several New Jersey municipalities as having potential for the USA Headquarters for GigaTera due to various State incentive programs.  It was a tremendous effort.

Thor has a unique knowledge of the LED business, and his expertise and professionalism have been paramount in the many meetings I have participated in with financial institutions, public and private, legislators, state government officials, local officials, and business leaders. 

When the delegation from South Korea came to New Jersey, Thor was extraordinary in the depth of knowledge in guiding the meetings and convincing the stakeholders in attendance of the value of the project and why GigaTera was ahead of the curve technologically at the time.

Thor has an analytical mind and superb writing skills.  He also demonstrated financial and budgetting skills in many of the investor meetings we had. He has an acute personality, always keeps his eye on the target, and keeps moving forward on a project.  I find his integrity to be unquestioned.
