About Chris Augur

Having sold companies to ARM, Google, Gemalto, Intel, McAfee, Oracle, Seiko Epson, Symantec, TPG, Verifone, ViaSat, and others, my focus is on advising emerging technology companies on shareholder value creation and realization (usually through M&A at strategically-driven premium valuations).I have also run operating companies as president or CEO. At Zivelo I led its outstanding team to enhance the management & leadership in support of the company's rapid growth. Drove the process to develop a strategic acquirer, and Verifone acquired Zivelo in 2019. Zivelo is most well-known for being the supplier of self-service kiosks to McDonald's and many other national brands.Earlier at SpeedFam Corp., a high technology semiconductor equipment company that we grew from 50 people to over 800 and a successful NASDAQ IPO. Upon leaving SpeedFam I co-founded the Arizona Angels where I organized and invested through Phoenix's first angel investment group.Later was president of Isola Corp., the largest US printed circuit board materials manufacturer that we turned around and then successfully arranged an acquisition by TPG. I've been a speaker at software investment conferences, industry conferences, Stanford University, Thunderbird Graduate School of Global Management, SEMI, Sematech, and community events. Serving or have served on the boards of a number of private companies and the Executive Committee of the Dean's Council at ASU's Fulton College of Engineering.
