About

For the past 30 years, I have had been an integral part of ground-breaking technology innovation resulting in the evolution and advancements of the internet which has created generational opportunity for endless innovation from how we connect, to what we connect, and the underlying software automation, intelligence and advanced AI algorithms that are enabling consumer and enterprise experiences that will forever change the world. As the CEO of 5 trend-setting technology companies and 9 company boards, I have led transformational change resulting in growth, profitability and shareholder value partnering with venture capital, private equity and public company board of directors. As a CEO, I have led the assessment and diligence of over 100 M&A projects and the execution of 25 transactions. I was fortunate to lead teams that resulted in being recognized as EY's Entrepreneur of the Year, twice named Tech Titans CEO of the Year and featured on Fox Business with Maria Bartiroma, CNBC Squawk Box, Fox Closing Bell with Liz Claman), Bloomberg with Kailey Heinz and The CEO with Lee Cullum The combination of people and the underlying culture are the fundamental foundation that has defined who I am as a leader and the resulting success for these companies. Authenticity and trust are the cornerstone to my life and business relationships. I continue to live my life and companies by thinking the impossible is possible and being comfortable with what is often uncomfortable. Lisa, Morgan, Taylor, Danny, our daughter & sons-in-law and our 4 grandchildren are the cornerstone to a life of cherished memories.
