Perry Tarnofskyperrytarnofsky@gmail.com(714) 757-4390I’m a senior legal executive who’s focused on business success, a “Growth First Counsel.”GROWTH – As Vice President of Legal at Powerwave Technologies, when revenue was flat I completed three strategic acquisitions that grew revenues from $200M to $900M over three years. FIRST – I’ve have built the legal function and directed the legal affairs for two public technology companies. I was a key driver of growth through M&A, technology development and by removing obstructions to sustainable growth as my first priority.COUNSEL – I’m “battle tested,” having counseled companies through extreme challenges – securities class action lawsuits, SEC, bribery and criminal investigations, bankruptcies and senior management changeovers. As General Counsel of Epicor Software Corporation, I was instrumental in the company’s restructuring, enabling its survival following a financial restatement, removal of management and an SEC investigation. I anticipate and manage risk in a way that promotes growth. By working in concert with the management team to understand the bottom line goal, I provide solutions that remove obstacles and accelerate the business’s forward motion.From setting strategy to tactical execution – crisis management, negotiation or litigation – I work through problems, so the business can stay focused on GROWTH FIRST.INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (IP)Software and IP licensingPatent and trademark portfolio development Technology transactionsMERGERS & ACQUISITIONSPublic company & internationalContract negotiations, due diligence and transaction structureRegulatory clearances, SEC registration, post-closing integrationCOMPLEX COMMERCIAL AGREEMENTSCapital RaisingSalesManufacturingBusiness development Real EstateINDUSTRY EXPERIENCESoftwareWireless telecomMobile appsConsumer productsMulti-level marketingNutritional Supplements
