> Sam Moon has lived in and worked across Asia for the past 23 years working

> BusinessWeek. Mr. Moon first met Dr. Thaksin Shinawatra 16 years ago and has
> remained in contact with him over the years. During his career in Asia, Mr.
> Moon produced and managed senior level conferences throughout the region.
> This has provided him with an excellent network of relationships due to the

> Mr. Moon has previously been a Senior Advisor to the Boao Forum for Asia,

> Economic Forum which is the leading and most influential economic gathering
> in the Middle East.

> When Dr Thaksin approached Mr. Moon to assist with his vision of Building a
> Better Future Foundation, Mr. Moon rearranged his schedule so he could
> become involved in the initial stages of developing this initiative. Having
> worked with speakers such as Lee Kuan Yew, Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, Bill
> Clinton, George Bush senior, Colin Powell, Al Gore, John Major, Tony Blair,
> Zhu Rongji and many others, Mr. Moon has long felt that the region needed an
> Asian leader who could be an icon on the global stage for the new
> generation. Having seen Dr. Thaksin work with media, handle challenges and
> “work” a crowded room, Mr. Moon feels Dr. Thaksin is one of only a handful
> of a new generation of Asian leaders who could become a “Clinton from Asia”.
> Dr. Thaksin’s leadership ability, vision, charm and media savvy puts him in
> a league all to his own. Having the advantage of seeing most leaders up
> close and personal (and behind the scenes), Mr. Moon feels he is in a unique
> position to make this comparison.
>
> Mr. Moon is based in Hong Kong. Originally from the USA, Mr. Moon is proud
> to call Hong Kong and Asia home. Mr. Moon holds a Bachelor of Arts degree
