Dr. H. David Sherman, MBA, DBA, CPA, is an accomplished academic, accountant, and public company board member who currently serves as an Independent Director of Lakeshore Acquisition III Corp., a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that priced its $60 million IPO on Nasdaq in 2025. He is also an Independent Director of Aurelion Inc., a role he has held since June 2023, and serves as Treasurer and Director of D-Tree International, Inc. His SPAC experience spans multiple vehicles in the Lakeshore Acquisition family, having previously served as a director of Lakeshore Acquisition II Corp. since March 2022, a blank-check company led by Deyin (Bill) Chen that raised $60 million in its March 2022 IPO. He also served as a director and member of the Audit Committee of NUVVE Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: NVVE), which was formerly Newborn Acquisition Corporation (Nasdaq: NBAC), a SPAC that consummated its business combination in March 2021, giving him direct experience navigating a SPAC through its de-SPAC transaction.
Beyond his SPAC roles, Sherman has built an extensive portfolio of public and private board positions across diverse industries and geographies. He has served as director and audit committee chair of Xiao-I Corp. (Nasdaq: AIXI), an artificial intelligence company based in Beijing, China, since May 2023, and as a director of Linkage Global Inc. (Nasdaq: LGCB), a cross-border e-commerce integrated service business headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, since June 2023. From February 2011 to May 2016, he chaired both the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee of Agfeed Corporation (OTC: FEED), a hog production business. Since January 2014, he has served as Trustee and Chair of the Finance Committee for the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, the oldest English-language acting school in the world. His board work reflects deep expertise in financial reporting, audit oversight, and corporate governance across U.S., Chinese, and Japanese listed entities.
Sherman's primary professional identity is that of a long-tenured accounting academic. He has been a professor at Northeastern University since 1984, specializing in financial and management accounting, global financial statement analysis, and contemporary accounting issues, accumulating over 30 years of academic and professional experience in accounting and auditing. His earlier academic career included a position on the faculty of the Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) from 1980 to 1985, an adjunct professorship at Tufts Medical School, and a visiting professorship at Harvard Business School in 2015. From 2004 to 2005, he served as an Academic Fellow at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the Division of Corporate Finance's Office of Chief Accountant, providing him with regulatory perspective on corporate disclosure and accounting standards.
Sherman earned his Doctorate degree in Accounting and Accountability Systems from Harvard Business School in 1981, his Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School in 1971, and his Bachelor's degree in Economics from Brandeis University in 1969, where he graduated Cum Laude with Honors in Economics. He is a CPA certificate holder. His combination of academic rigor, SEC regulatory experience, and extensive public company board service across multiple SPACs and international listings makes him a sought-after independent director and audit committee expert in the SPAC and broader capital markets ecosystem.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0001481482 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 99 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 40 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
