Patrick Jenevein, CEO of Pointe Bello 

Patrick Jenevein serves as the chief executive at Pointe Bello, an intelligence driven, strategy development firm that provides pioneering open-source intelligence to governmental and commercial bodies on the People’s Republic of China’s economic statecraft activity worldwide. Prior to launching Pointe Bello, he co-founded Tang Energy Group and, partnering with Chinese state-owned enterprises, developed several businesses in the power-generating and electrical infrastructure sectors. Those included power plants, wind farms, and a manufacturer of wind turbine blades. In 2022, litigation efforts that Jenevein led resulted in collecting dollars in Dallas through a publicly filed document requiring signatures from Beijing.

Jenevein founded Tang’s general partner, the Nolan Group, Inc. (“Nolan”), in 1986 to work as venture capital investor in the natural gas business. NG Processing Company, Inc. (“NG”) grew out of Nolan’s gas gathering and processing operations (1993) and sponsored projects in Uzbekistan, Indonesia, China and South America. Nolan co-founded Tang in 1996, to build, own and operate energy delivery systems in China. Tang formed Tang Wind Energy to start up and own with the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) 中航惠腾风电设备有限公司, (Zhong Hang Huiteng Windpower Equipment Company) (2001), which became China’s largest and the world’s 2nd largest wind blade manufacturer.

Before engaging AVIC in litigation in the United States, various organizations noted Tang’s contributions in the United States and China. In 2010, the U.S. State Department selected Tang as one of twelve global finalists for the Secretary of State’s Award for Corporate Excellence. (ACE). ACE awards recognize important roles that American businesses play overseas as good corporate citizens. Also in 2010, the Dallas Regional Chamber of Commerce presented Tang its Technology Catalyst Award. In 2008, Ernst & Young chose Jenevein as a Regional Winner of its Entrepreneur of the Year Award. In 2007, AVIC named him a “Friend of AVIC.”
