Mr. Diaz-Verson had previously served as a director of the Company from 1997 to 2005. “We are thrilled to have a man of Mr. Diaz-Verson’s stature come on our board, especially one so familiar with the company,” said Mr. Melvin Gagerman, Aura’s CEO.

Mr. Diaz-Verson has a long and distinguished career in business and finance. He was the youngest officer of a large corporation serving as Chief Investment Officer and President of American Family Life (AFLAC) where he turned a $45 Million portfolio into $8.2 Billion.

In 1997 he created the Diaz-Verson Americas Fund that provided a mutual fund for western hemispheric opportunities that thrived when NAFTA came into effect. He founded United Americas Bank, devoted to serving the Hispanic immigrants and their families, a market left not serviced by mainstream banks.
