Investment Committee

Jeremy Delk

Chairman

Mr. Delk has been a successful entrepreneur for over a decade, with a keen eye for innovative new products, technologies and unexploited market niches. Mr. Delk utilized the financial acumen he learned in the financial sector with Fidelity Investments, while working in both Boston and NYC, to incorporate Delk Enterprises in 2002. With the growth of Delk Enterprises, Mr. Delk made the decision to move back to his native Kentucky focusing on the growth of his company.

Over time, Mr. Delk expanded Delk Enterprises from primarily a real estate holdings firm to a diversified private equity portfolio including equity holdings in animal health, sports medicine, human health care, pharmacy & creating access to future IP through strategic investments in technology and human health R&D initiatives. Today positively disrupting healthcare through portfolio companies and other strategic investments is where his primary focus lies.

Mr. Linford has a diverse business background stretching over 34 years, and has always been at the forefront of new technologies. A previous business owner in industries as diverse as plastic fabrication and sanitation chemicals, one of his major achievements was the launch of a leading topical pain relief product into the Pharmacy and Medical field. Launching The Elmore Oil Company in September 2004, the product by the same name, Elmore Oil, became Australias fastest growing topical pain relief product in 2007, jumping from 18th to 5th place in its category. By 2012 Elmore Oil was positioned 4th overall in its category, and the Number 1 natural topical pain reliever in Australia, with exports to 12 countries. This brand was licensed out in 2013.

In 2006, during the ongoing development of the Elmore Oil Company, he created the Future Champions Program – a scholarship program to assist aspiring young athletes in their quest to reach their ultimate dreams. The Elmore Oil Company partnered with Australia’s Premier Educational based Charity Organisation, The Smith Family, to bring the Future Champions Program to fruition.

In 2009, furthering his philanthropic interests, Mr Linford then developed the Elmore Trust Fund for Street Children in the Philippines, to assist children from impoverished backgrounds at the grass roots level. This program, later renamed The Future Kids Program, still operates today and staff deliver food parcels to thousands of families across the Philippines on a regular basis.

Mr. Linford is currently also a shareholder and board member of Pain Away LLC, a US based distributor of pain relief and skin care products to the pharmacy and sports market in the USA. He is the CEO of Regenex Laboratories, a global supplements manufacturer and a strategic advisor to Enhanced Shockwave Solutions, Australia’s No 1 distributor of Shockwave and Acoustic Wave medical therapy equipment.
