dGB management
	Kristofer Tingdahl Executive Vice President - Americas, has been developing geoscientific software for dGB since late 1998, when started his MSc project as an intern at the Enschede office focusing on steering algorithms. Kristofer continued to pursue a dGB sponsored PhD at Goteborg University, Sweden, focusing on object detection (faults and chimneys). During his PhD studies, he developed an attribute calculation engine and 3D visualization that founded the base of OpendTect. He received his PhD degree in April 2004, and has been working with dGB since. Kristofer is based in the Houston office since June 2005 working with OpendTect development and support for 3rd party developers in the Americas.
	Friso Brouwer Chief Operating Officer - Americas, joined dGB in 2002 after completing a MSc in Applied Geophysics at Delft University of Technology. His primary areas of expertise are seismic attributes, application of neural networks on seismic data, inversion & reservoir characterization. Friso has made important contributions in product and workflow development for OpendTect. His scientific focus is to further develop integration of geology and geophysics with the aid of advanced interpretation tools such as seismic attributes, seismic charge and seal analysis, SSIS, DHI analysis and rock property transforms.
Special Adviser
	Fred Aminzadeh has been instrumental in the start up and growth of dGB Earth Sciences in the United States for almost 10 years. He worked 17 years for Unocal in technical and management positions. Fred has authored many books, patents and articles on different aspects of geophysical technology, including modelling, seismic attributes, seismic processing, AVO and reservoir characterization. Fred earned his PhD from the University of Southern California. He has served as SEG president and as chairman of SEG's research committee for two years. He was the recipient of the SEG's Special Commendation Award for leading and successfully completing a $ 25 Million Industry / Government supported project on 3D Salt and Overthrust Modelling.
Case studies
	David Connolly has joined dGB Earth Sciences in 2002 as Chief Geologist. He has over 20 years of industry experience in various aspects of petroleum geology and geophysics. Formerly with Texaco, he has worked on a variety of international and national exploration assignments. His areas of expertise include reservoir characterization, sequence stratigraphy, integrated seal analysis, petroleum migration and 3D visualization. He has co-authored various talks and poster sessions on deep water technologies. Prior to joining Texaco, he worked as core analyst and laboratory manager for Schlumberger-Anadrill. He is mainly involved in seismic object detection and interpretation studies, especially on fluid migration.
	Renee Bourque joined dGB Earth Sciences as a Geoscientist in September 2008. Her focus at dGB is Seismic Sequence Stratigraphy using the OpendTect SSIS plugin. Renee received her undergraduate degree in Geology from Texas A&M University, and her MSc in Hydrogeophysics from the State University of New York at Buffalo.
Software development
	Yuancheng Liu has joined dGB Earth Sciences as a research scientist. He received his PhD in mathematics from the University of Houston. His specialty is modeling and data analysis. He will apply his mathematical and statistical skills in processing and interpreting multi-volume seismic data as well as implementing new algorithms within OpendTect.
Office Support
	Venice Iskander is a dGB-USA administrative assistant, responsible for all the logistics and administration. She has a bachelor's degree in accounting. She worked for the US Embassy in Egypt for seventeen years; 7 years for the State department in the Finance Management Office and 10 years for the Department of commerce as commercial specialist.
