PRI Leadership
The CEO of Prospect Resources Inc. (PRI), Dr. Isaac Shkop, holds a PhD in Business Administration from the University of Pittsburgh, and was a faculty member in the business school at University of Illinois at Chicago. He was also an associate member at the Chicago Board of Trade, trading financial futures for several years.
As one of the pioneers of the deregulated natural gas market in Northern Illinois, Dr. Shkop was involved in shaping many of the rules and regulations currently operant in Northern Illinois. After a hiatus of 6 years and at the behest of many former associates and clients, Dr. Shkop established Prospect Resources Inc. in 2005 to offer much needed planning, hedging and energy procurement services to larger energy consumers. These consumers realize that they need protection against rapidly increasing prices and the accompanying erratic volatility in the energy market. PRI operates in conjunction with various national energy suppliers who have agreed to cooperate and supply natural gas and electricity as specified by PRI.
Vice President of Business Development, Hal Pollack, is a Certified Public Accountant and holds a Master of Management Degree from Northwestern University's Kellogg Graduate School of Management. Mr. Pollack worked eight years in public accounting and moved from auditing futures brokerage firms to trading financial futures at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade for nine years. Upon leaving the trading floor, Mr. Pollack has been advising customers about the control of utility costs for almost 13 years.
