NetSeer combs exchanges for content that has the perfect 'conceptual match' for the advertiser message. NetSeer has put its technology to use developing custom audience segments that are 'lookalikes' of a brand's customers or ideal targets, and refining that targeting in the RTB environment. It is a charming irony that by looking at the pages that attract people, you can find like people. The company also developed a compelling InImage product that combines their targeting with a clever ad space within images on a page. The company was acquired by Inuvo.

Aplicor have developed a SaaS suite of software targeting mid-level distribution companies. The platform provides an integrated 'single view' of the customer by combining, in one suite, the capabilities of a CRM system (such as Salesforce or Sugar) with an ERP system (such as NetSuite or Quickbooks). This integration, together with the customization available through Aplicor or their VAR's, provides a compelling and competitive advantage to running a business in the distribution vertical. The company made a valiant effort, but ran against increased competition from large competitors. The board and CEO elected to wind the company down gracefully.

Summit Semiconductor is a leading driver of the WISA (Wireless Speaker and Audio) standard and category. Their current semi products and software stack enable companies such as Klipsch and Bang & Olufsen to offer wireless home theater systems with high performance, as well as systems for meetings, conventions, or musical arenas, so that the cost and hassle of wiring are eliminated. Next generation systems in production now will move the software to the SOC of the TV or other devices, enabling high performance surround sound with fewer components. The Vision (or, better stated, since it is an audio business, the Voice) of the company is to enable the sound in a room to match the resolution and speed of the screen in the room, ever bigger and richer, while being utterly simple to plug in and play. A wonderful and talented team, but due to time constraints, I resigned the board.

RefGo is a smart startup with a working platform designed to help SMBs with reviews. In particular, the system lets them pro-actively solicit reviews from customers (which means, the company can intercept problems before they go negative). The platform aggregates and publishes the reviews, including to the SMB website, where they contribute to conversion. Consumers today are more interested in what their friends, family, and other customers are saying than any other form of information, prior to making a decision. Lastly, the accumulated reviews are found often by search engines, increasing potential leads for the business.RefGo was acquired by WorkWave, and will work their magic in that exciting organization.

Led the first venture funding round. Director since 2004; independent director since 2009; chaired compensation and served on audit through August 2013. August 2013 through April 2, 2014, served as Interim CEO through the appointment of Sharon Rowlands as CEO. ReachLocal emerged as the leading company helping SMBs use digital media to attract and retain customers. The company operates around the world, has nearly 2,000 employees, is a top Google partner, and has had revenues approaching $500mm annually.

Ask Jeeves was a publicly traded search engine company when I joined the board in 2001. I joined the audit committee and compensation committee, and was later named chair of compensation and of governance. The company shifted, as did the entire search industry, to improved relevancy of its results (Ask Jeeves had acquired Teoma, which was arguably more accurate than Google's system) and moved to monetization through AdWords, which provided a massive uplift in RPM. With rapid growth in revenue and profit, the company was acquired by IAC in 2005. A happy outcome for shareholders, but the end of a board position that provided great enjoyment and professional growth.
