Velu Sinha
• Before OGF and OGC, Velu worked with David Schell on a document management project whose "virtual bus” distributed architecture provided a model for geospatial interoperability, ultimately realized in OGC. Velu is now a partner at Bain & Company and an OGC Director.
OGC – 20 Years 1994 – 2014 61
Bob King
Bob King, as VP at Camber Corp., was an OGC founder. Camber provided offices for OGC in Cambridge MA for 2 years, plus other resources. Camber helped arrange OGC’s NASA CRADA, which made the OGC’s first 3 years possible.

Greg Smith was on the OGF board before joining the US National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA), where he helped advance OGC.
The NGA (while still NIMA) under Irv Buck worked with the OGC to create the "Geospatial IPT”. While at NGA, Mark Reichardt helped with this.
The IPT effort helped the OGC conceptualize and implement the Interoperability Program, keystone of OGC's success.
James Clapper, Director of NGA 2001-2006 and now Director of National Intelligence, was a strong OGC advocate.
