What primary-source records (LinkedIn, corporate filings) exist to confirm Lori Frantzve’s employment history and business roles?
Executive summary
Available reporting and online profiles present a consistent portrait of Lori Frantzve as a business executive associated with E3tek Group and as an inventor named on patent filings, but the assembled sources are primarily secondary aggregator pages and event bios that cite a LinkedIn profile rather than direct corporate filings; no state-level corporate registry or SEC-style primary corporate documents were provided in the reporting reviewed [1] [2] [3].
1. LinkedIn as the apparent primary anchor cited by media and aggregators
Multiple outlets and data-aggregator services repeatedly point to a LinkedIn profile as the central primary-source record for Frantzve’s employment history: Datanyze lists her as Principal Chief Executive Officer at E3tek Group and explicitly invites following her on LinkedIn [1], NickiSwift’s profile piece cites “According to Lori’s LinkedIn profile” when attributing nearly two decades at General Electric [4], and Whitepages also repeats the LinkedIn-derived claim that she works at E3tek Group in Scottsdale [5]. These available items indicate that LinkedIn is the proximate primary source most reporters and aggregators rely on, but the reporting supplies only citations of that profile rather than a direct LinkedIn URL or archived LinkedIn page capture.
2. Commercial contact databases corroborate titles but are secondary sources
Commercial databases such as ZoomInfo and Datanyze reproduce an executive title and contact details for Frantzve—ZoomInfo lists her as “Principal Chief Executive Officer at E3tek Group,” credits an MBA, and describes areas of expertise [2], while Datanyze provides company size and role context [1]. These sources are useful corroboration of a publicly stated role because they aggregate observable directory data, yet they are not corporate-filings primary documents and can reflect self-reported LinkedIn data or third-party scraping rather than independent legal proof of corporate office.
3. Event bios and patent filings provide complementary primary traces
An event speaker bio on the Defense Innovation Network summit site includes a profile for Lori Frantzve, which functions as a named, attributable public-facing bio used for professional representation [6]. Separately, patent records collected on Justia list “Lori A. Frantzve” as a named inventor alongside Lawrence R. Guinta, demonstrating a government-archived primary record tying that name to specific inventive activity and legal filings [3]. Patent filings are government records and therefore constitute a direct primary source connecting the name to intellectual property work; they do not, however, on their own verify corporate employment or executive titles.
4. Biographical coverage in lifestyle press confirms family ties but not corporate filings
Profiles in outlets like People and NickiSwift reference Frantzve in a family and biographical context—People documents family photos and basic biographical details [7], and NickiSwift summarizes career highlights “according to LinkedIn” [4]. These are secondary media narratives that repeat or interpret the LinkedIn/aggregator claims; they strengthen the consistent public narrative but are not replacements for corporate registry documents or board minutes.
5. Key gaps: absence of provided state corporate filings, board minutes, or direct LinkedIn archive
Crucially, the assembled reporting does not include state-level corporate filings (e.g., secretary of state registration for E3tek Group), Form filings, corporate annual reports, or a direct LinkedIn profile URL or archive capture as supplied primary documents; those omissions mean there is no provided copy of a legal corporate record or an independently verifiable ledger of officer appointments in the material reviewed (no source in p1 or p2 supplies corporate registry documents). Therefore the strongest primary-source confirmation available in the provided set are the patent records (a government filing) and event-speaker bio, while the CEO/Executive role rests on LinkedIn-cited claims relayed through commercial aggregators [3] [6] [2] [1].
Conclusion: what can and cannot be affirmed from the available records
From the reporting provided, it can be affirmed that multiple public-facing sources identify Lori Frantzve as Principal Chief Executive Officer of E3tek Group and that a Lori A. Frantzve appears on patent applications—these are the clearest primary or near-primary traces in the file [1] [2] [3]. What cannot be confirmed from the supplied material is a direct corporate-filing record (state registration, officer appointment filings, or board minutes) or an archived LinkedIn profile screenshot; locating those would require querying the relevant state corporation registry, obtaining an archived LinkedIn page, or requesting corporate documents from E3tek Group directly. The reporting sources used—Datanyze, ZoomInfo, Whitepages, NickiSwift, People, the Defense Innovation Network summit site, and Justia—should be read as corroborative but partially derivative rather than exhaustive legal proof [1] [5] [4] [7] [6] [3].
