LGMH Key Company Management

Danny Wilson, President & CEO of Light Media has over 25 years of radio, television, media marketing and promotions expertise from 1986 to 2012. Mr. Wilson served as an announcer at a New Orleans, Louisiana, radio station. He expanded his communications knowledge by working as an apprentice at the local public television station. There he took on the role of a camera operator and produced one-hour segments for a weekly show. Mr. Wilson later accepted a position at KTCA, a television station in St. Paul, Minnesota; however, the position for which he had been hired was eliminated. As luck would have it, he was offered a job as Assistant Program Director/Announcer at WRNB Radio in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Following his stint at WRNB, Mr. Wilson served as an Event Producer with the Contemporary Group, an event-marketing firm based in St. Louis, Missouri. For three years, he traveled with the CBS College Tour to promote CBS network programming to college students at 45 universities across the country. After the third year, Mr. Wilson accepted a position with Entertainment Marketing in Chicago, Illinois, whose major client was Anheuser Busch. Danny’s job was to market and promote the Budweiser Superfest Tour.

As the Budweiser Superfest Road Manager/Representative, Mr. Wilson had the pleasure of interacting with many talented artists, such as Mary J. Blige, Boyz II Men, Pattie LaBelle and Dru Hill, as well as Bones, Thugs and Harmony, New Edition, BlackStreet, Keith Sweat, After 7, Frankie Beverley and Maze, and Montell Jordan, to name a few. Out of this experience with The Contemporary Group and Entertainment Marketing, Mr. Wilson created Dominique's World Productions, Inc., a road management and consulting company that developed and executed tours. His first client as road manager was Def Jam recording artist, LL Cool J.

Mr. Wilson's success with LL Cool J opened the door to work with Montell Jordan. He also managed promotional tours with Def Jam Music Group, the "How to Be a Player" Promotional Tour and the EPMD "Back in Business" Promotional Tour. His relationship with Def Jam afforded Mr. Wilson the opportunities to road manage Jay Z on the Bad Boy Entertainment/"Puff Daddy and the Family Tour.” Another door on the second leg of the tour opened, and Mr. Wilson became the road accountant for Puffy and the Bad Boy Family.

Mr. Wilson served as president and Chief Executive Officer of Dominique's World Productions, Inc., developing and executing marketing programs for major corporations as well as providing consulting services and executing tour agendas for music and entertainment companies. In his capacity of President of Light Media, Mr. Wilson has produced more than 2000 hours of audio and video content, as well as programmed radio and video programs, and guided strategic planning, fundraising and corporate operations from media conglomerate concept idea inception and foundation in September 1997 to today, involved in every aspect and evolution of the company.

Qiagen N.V. ~Nasdaq Bio~ QGEN Due Diligence 
 


QGEN Company Overview & Description 
QIAGEN N.V. is the leading provider of sample and assay technologies. Sample technologies are used to isolate DNA, RNA, and proteins from any biological sample. Assay technologies are then used to make specific target biomolecules, such as the DNA of a specific virus, visible for subsequent analysis. 


We have developed and market more than 500 consumable products and automated solutions. The company provides these products to molecular diagnostics laboratories, academic researchers, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, and applied testing customers for purposes such as forensics, animal or food testing and pharmaceutical process control. QIAGEN's assay technologies include one of the broadest panels of molecular diagnostic tests available worldwide. This panel includes the digene HPV Test, which is regarded as a "gold standard" in testing for high-risk types of human papillomavirus (HPV), the primary cause of cervical cancer, as well as a broad suite of solutions for infectious disease testing and companion diagnostics. 


QIAGEN employs more than 3,800 people in over 35 locations worldwide. 


QIAGEN was founded 1984 as a spin-off at the University of Düsseldorf.
