Owl, Inc. was born after the JV dissolution of ASC-LxCAM - a technology company providing security, monitoring and accountability solutions to government entities. Recognizing the potential applications on the consumer side, one of the founding partners raised capital to buy-out his corporate partner. I was brought in by the investing team to serve as CEO for this new entity, pivot the company in to a new market, develop a go-to-market strategy and position the company so that investors had the option to either exit or pursue a long-term hold. The mandate was difficult in that I had to keep both options open which sometimes meant competing goals. Ultimately, the technology was acquired in a private deal.DELIVERED RESULTS:* At the request of the Board of Directors, devised and implemented two-part business strategy — short and long-term growth and pitch strategy for possible acquisition.* Transformed the company’s overall brand after conducting a through market research initiative which resulted in a new company name (Owl Vs. LxCAM), logo design and overall go-to-market strategy.* Successfully negotiated pilot programs to provide proof of concept with Yankee Stadium, the Virginia Tech football program and the Maracanã Stadium for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil* Built out an executive team and small development team located in the US, India and Belarus to commercialize technology while operating within a very tight budget.
