Through my career I have been passionate about building things. First I built hardware, then software and then I built organizations. Starting from an idea, a brainstorming session with a white board and seeing it turn into a reality down the road is amongst the most interesting endeavors we get to pursue. But the most satisfying role of all is to help people grow, challenge themselves and come through as better managers and often simply better individuals.

​

I have managed from R&D teams through sales forces and have been an executive in a company that went public in the mid 90s and CEO of a company that went through to dotcom craze and bust and survived to be acquired in the mid 2000s. As executive chairman of several companies I accumulated my own experience of what works and what doesn't. Most importantly as an investor for the last 15 years, I have learned how to frame problems and ask questions in a way that help teams come up with their own answers, build their plans for success and execute them. My goal now is to pass on that knowledge and help others.
