About Jim:

I’m a CEO of ten years. I’ve been apart of seven startups, four of which I founded, and two of which I sold. I’ve also spent over a decade working in data warehousing / data center infrastructure with companies such as NCR, AT&T, and Teradata.

My passion is building products, teams, and companies, which present opportunities to disrupt large, fast-growing markets.

As a SVP/GM, I’ve most recently assisted a publicly traded firm in pivoting its business by establishing its presence in private Platform as a Service, an enterprise software offering which address the needs of CIOs at Fortune 1000 companies.

Prior to that I was a CEO, leading a startup in private cloud Infrastructure as a Service, which was based on a technology spin-out from university.

My experience in Cloud technologies began when I founded, built, and sold my own digital media SaaS company, which successfully assisted 10, 000 businesses in distributing video on the web.

I’m interested in building a world-class team and company in a business, which consists of a long-term sustainable technology and associated value proposition.

My strengths begin with coupling vision with execution by inspiring, motivating, and leading next-generation executive teams.
