  • Doing this, Trusted Software Advisors, for the last 2 plus years consulting with several early stage startups.
  • Part of Altify’s journey for over 16 years. Going from less than 10 to more than a 100 employees and rounding out with a successful acquisition.
  • IONA Technologies for about 9 years. A fun time learning an enormous amount from some very smart folks in both the professional services and engineering teams.
