You're invited to join us to hear John Kuhns, a financier and industrialist who has been doing business in China for over twenty five years.
In 1984, as the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Catalyst Energy Corporation, Mr. Kuhns was the first American to acquire commercial hydroelectric generating equipment from China, powering the company to its successful IPO and listing on the New York Stock Exchange. According to Inc. magazine, Catalyst Energy was the fastest growing public company in the United States from 1982 to 1987, becoming a $1 billion enterprise.
