When the best leader’s work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves.' — Lao TzuI love building great companies. As a CEO for 25 years, I founded, grew, operated, acquired, and sold multiple global video conferencing companies in venture capital, publicly traded, and private equity environments—Via Video, Lifesize, and Bloomfire.At each company, along with very talented teams, we pioneered a progression of videoconferencing technologies that revolutionized the way people communicate, collaborate, and experience meetings—most recently, the 4K SaaS and Room Video Conferencing Solution for Business.Since 2014, as CEO at Lifesize, I reimagined and restructured the company from an on-premise infrastructure to a globally hosted, recurring revenue SaaS video collaboration company focused on mobile and desktop apps and paired with the best in class conference room and contact center solutions – the only company offering this solution globally. I have a hearty customer obsession and place customers at the forefront of everything. I am passionate about empowering businesses worldwide to engage with genuine, personable interactions leveraging tools and expertise to engage with diverse audiences, making their products and solutions more equitable on small and large global scales.During 2020, video communication and virtual collaboration became key for the viability of businesses around the world. I am humbled that by driving the industry's evolution, Lifesize can provide businesses with mission critical technology solutions for continuity and growth.As a servant leader, it is most rewarding to help employees achieve their career and financial goals. Together, we work hard and make everyday matter. I build and inspire cultures of integrity, transparency, and accountability, celebrating victory and staring down challenges as opportunities. I am privileged to be celebrating 25 year work anniversaries with many valued employees.Drawing from my military career and 25 successful years as a CEO, servant leader, entrepreneur, and technology pioneer, I can make an immediate positive impact on a business. Even in the toughest times, there is always a successful path forward.𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧➜2003, Founded Lifesize ➜2009-2011, Sold Lifesize to Logitech, appointed CEO, Video Conferencing (Lifesize) ➜2012-2014, Founded Bloomfire ➜2014, Asked to return to Lifesize ➜2015, Purchased Lifesize back from Logitech ➜2020, Sold Lifesize to Marlin Equity Partners, remained CEO with Simultaneous Merger with Serenova ➜2020, Acquired Kaptivo
