Ming Louie

Principal, East Asia and Communications

(Contact Mr. Louie)

Ming Louie is widely regarded as one of the world’s most successful strategists of market development in Asia for the wireless and semiconductor industries. Mr. Louie possesses in-depth knowledge of a multitude of wireless, satellite and fixed telecommunications technologies, including data and voice networks, circuit and packet switching and various mobile communications standards. His professional experience also includes extensive project management involving more than $3 Billion. As an internationally recognized expert in high technology industries, Mr. Louie has recently focused on advising clients on public policy matters affecting their interests in Asia. Exercising a keen understanding of the important cultural differences between Asian and domestic interests, he has been persuasive for his clients and constituencies at the highest level of authorities of various Asian government ministries. Mr. Louie’s long-term relationships with the leaders and policy-makers of these important international agencies were built on a foundation of mutual trust established almost two decades ago, enabling him to identify and capitalize on important strategic business opportunities for clients.

Mr. Louie, who has headed Dynasty’s communications and information technology practice since November 2001, has expanded Dynasty’s services to include public policy and strategy services to domestic and European companies seeking to establish a presence in China and other parts of Asia. With critical issues ranging from Intellectual Property Protection to Internet Security facing the Chinese government and foreign entities alike, Mr. Louie has guided clients in successfully navigating the complex environment that often awaits in Asia.

While based in Beijing, Mr. Louie also served as the China President of the GSM Association, whose members include more than 650 wireless communication operators (including Vodafone, China Mobile, NTT DoCoMo and China Unicom) and more than 200 manufacturers (such as Nokia, Siemens, Ericsson, Microsoft and Intel). As President, Mr. Louie reported to a Global Board of Directors representing, among others, Hutchison Whampoa Group, T-Mobile and SingTel Mobile. During his Presidency, Mr. Louie established the strategic alliance between previously conflicting standards involving GSM/WCDMA and TD-SCDMA, successfully coordinating the disparate interests of the Association’s Asian, European and U.S. members. Mr. Louie formulated and implemented the plan to establish GSM/WCDMA as the national standard in China for the 3G market, developing and enjoying very strong personal and professional relationships with senior management of many of the Association’s member companies.

Additionally, Mr. Louie continued to grow his long-standing and trustworthy relationships with high level officials of the Chinese government, as well as with Chief Executive Officers of many of China’s major industries and opinion leaders and editors of China’s media. For example, Mr. Louie’s extensive network of relationships includes personal and professional relations with China’s ministers of (i) the Ministry of Information Industry (which oversees all information industries, including telecommunications, internet and telecommunication equipment and integrated circuit manufacturers), (ii) the State Commission of Development and Reform (which oversees China’s overall economic development) (iii) the Commission of Science and Technology for National Development (which manages all projects related to aerospace and national defense) and (iv) the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (which overseas industrial entertainment industries).

Prior to joining Dynasty, Mr. Louie served as the President of Qualcomm Greater China, that company’s East Asian subsidiary which also encompasses the Taiwan and Hong Kong markets. Prior to Mr. Louie’s appointment, Qualcomm’s efforts to penetrate the world’s largest mobile communications market had been ineffective. Mr. Louie was responsible for enabling Qualcomm to gain acceptance and penetration of its technology in the world’s largest market (a market it had previously failed to pierce), by creating a successful strategy to ameliorate the historically strained relationships between Qualcomm’s senior management and various ministers of the Chinese government.

Within one year of taking office, Mr. Louie was responsible for the adoption of the CDMA standard by both the Chinese government and China Unicom, the country’s second largest telecommunications company with over 100 million subscribers, where he successfully conducted and negotiated all agreements on behalf of Qualcomm. With the establishment of that standard, Mr. Louie was able to secure more than $2.2 Billion in CDMA contracts for Qualcomm with the attending future multi-million dollar royalty streams. Mr. Louie also identified key technologies and new investment opportunities for the $1 Billion Qualcomm Venture Fund and, with an initial investment of $10 Million, established the Qualcomm CDMA Research and Development Center to develop strategic relationships with leading local IT companies.

Prior to being recruited to join Qualcomm, Mr. Louie was the Founder and Chief Systems Architect for Globalstar, where he designed the space and ground segments of this revolutionary constellation of 48 low earth orbiting (LEO) satellites connected to form the world’s first satellite-based personal communications system. Mr. Louie’s contribution to Globalstar is described in a chapter of the highly acclaimed Telecosm whose author, the renowned futurist, George Gilder, acknowledged Mr. Louie as the “real hero” of Globalstar.

As a senior officer of Globalstar and its majority stockholder, Loral Space & Communications Ltd., Mr. Louie was instrumental in the raising of $4 Billion through private equity and public and debt financing to implement the system. As part of his responsibilities, he identified and forged strategic partnerships with international governments and global telecommunications companies, including Alcatel, AirTouch (now Vodafone), France Telecom, China Telecom and Chunghwa Telecom and closed a $35 Million equity financing by China Telecom in Globalstar. In completing the system’s implementation of service, Mr. Louie also oversaw the establishment of successful satellite operations working closely with the Chinese Ministry of Telecommunications. As Loral’s chief Asian strategist, Mr. Louie also successfully opened the China market for Loral, closing transactions in that region valued at more than $500 Million, including a $200 Million satellite contract from CHINASAT.

Mr. Louie began his career as an engineer with GE and subsequently held senior positions with GTE and Ford. Mr. Louie is also the co-founder of Mobile Radius, a Silicon Valley based software solutions company in the mobile internet arena that was funded by several prominent venture capitalists, including Acer Technology Ventures and Acorn Campus.

Since 2003, Mr. Louie has served as a Member of the Board of Mindspeed Technology Inc. (NASDAQ NM: MSPD), a world leader in networking integrated circuit  solutions for communications applications in enterprise, access, metropolitan and wide area networks.

Mr. Louie is a published authority on a vast array of technical and policy matters. His commentary has appeared in numerous international technical journals and financial publications, including China’s leading financial newspaper, First Financial Daily and IT Times Magazine. He is a frequent speaker at industry seminars and conferences, including the Pacific Telecommunications Conference, the China-EU Business Summit and China Mobile’s 3G Summit.

Mr. Louie is a graduate of the Polytechnic University of New York, holds an MSEE from Princeton University and an MBA from Drexel University.  He speaks multiple Chinese dialects, including Mandarin and Cantonese.
