XTI Aerospace Forms Corporate Advisory Board
Michael Tapp Named Advisory Board Chairman
and Senior Advisor
Newly Formed Advisory Board
to Help Evaluate Strategic Opportunities
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Sept. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- XTI Aerospace, Inc. (NASDAQ: XTIA) today announced formation of the XTI Corporate Advisory Board and the appointment of Michael Tapp as its Chairman. Mr. Tapp is an operating partner for Palingen Capital, an evergreen holding company that acquires lower middle market businesses from legacy-minded owners. Mr. Tapp will also serve as a Senior Advisor to the Company.
“We have begun an exciting new phase in the growth of XTI Aerospace and we have determined that it is time to evaluate our strategic opportunities to best capitalize on strong demand for the TriFan 600 from industry incumbents,” said Scott Pomeroy, Chairman and CEO of XTI. “We believe there is a disconnect between the value of XTI’s current stock price and the valuations that have been ascribed to XTI by multiple, credible private parties and Michael Tapp will provide guidance to our Board of Directors through the XTI Corporate Advisory Board as we evaluate our strategic pathways.”
“XTI innovations represent an inflection point in private regional, medical and military aviation, and I am excited to be part of the team behind it,” commented Michael Tapp, newly appointed Chairman of the XTI Corporate Advisory Board and Senior Advisor to XTI. “I have been tasked with assembling a team of key leaders across the industries that demand the capabilities of the TriFan 600 who will provide insights as we advise the XTI Board of Directors in evaluating its corporate direction as XTI enters the next development phase in furtherance of commercialization.”
Mr. Tapp is an operating partner for Palingen Capital and has served in a similar role for HBC Investments, a private equity firm, after almost a decade of leadership roles at Interstate Battery. While at Interstate, he was an officer on the senior executive team, the President of Interstate’s multi-unit franchise system, and the President of Interstate’s industrial power management business. He also has contributed to the Investment Committee of the SBoTX Foundation as well as to the boards of directors and corporate advisory boards of several growth stage companies with international footprints.
Before joining Interstate, Mr. Tapp held senior executive roles at both operating and private equity organizations while serving on the Executive Committee of the Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship at Texas A&M University’s Mays School of Business.
Mr. Tapp is an active member of the Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO) and the National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD).
