Mr. Schell served as both Chairman and CEO of OGC from its founding in 1994 until 2008 when the board elected Mark Reichardt to assume the position of President and CEO. As Executive Chairman from 2008 to 2012, Mr. Schell was principally concerned with overseeing board operations and organizing the consortium's strategic planning process. He made important decisions based on the counsel of anyone in the organization or outside the organization who could help him understand the effects of decisions on the consortium's many stakeholders and on the course of the geospatial technology industry. He understands how communities and networks operate and that has been a key element in the success of the OGC. Schell earned B.A. and M.A. degrees from Brown University and the University of North Carolina respectively, and currently holds -the title "Honorary Professor of Geospatial Interoperability" in the School of Engineering at the University of Nottingham.
