* ACQUIRED BY HP *I co-founded Bristol Technology, a software company, with $100,000 of seed investment and served as CEO and Chairman until its purchase by Hewlett-Packard. In 1993, Bristol inked a Microsoft deal providing us full access to the Windows source code, one of only three companies in the world with such an agreement. Without additional investment, and from a first-year revenue base of $500,000, Bristol revenue grew 70% annually over the next five years; reaching the Inc. 500 and being ranked #1 on Connecticut’s Fast 50. From partner to adversary, Bristol launched a 1998 Federal Antitrust and Unfair Trade Practices lawsuit against Microsoft. I successfully managed Bristol through a three-year battle and Federal jury trial in a David-versus-Goliath saga covered internationally by print and television, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Forbes, Neil Cavuto and CNN. Bristol eventually won a jury verdict, and, subsequently, negotiated a favorable settlement.Contemporaneous with the lawsuit, I drove the transformation of Bristol into an enterprise software company. Having launched new software products, in 2003, we raised $9.1 million in funding led by Apax Partners and JVP. Four years later, Bristol had established its patented product, TransactionVision®, as the market leader in non-intrusive electronic transaction tracking and was purchased by Hewlett-Packard in early 2007.
