The majority of my career I have been an entrepreneur, founder and company builder.Most recently I was leading Manzama’s strategy and vision. Manzama is the leading provider of news and media aggregation tools for professional services firms and organizations. Since our inception in 2010 and I have guided the company to achieve double digit revenue growth year-over-year in every year of its operations, sustained profitability, and have seen an average annual customer retention rate of over 95% over this time-frame. Manzama now has over 225 of the largest law firms and professional services firms in the world, with over 75,000 active users on its enterprise platform. In 2017 Manzama launched Manzama Insights™, a patent-pending technology, that is designed to help organizations leapfrog the competition by using proprietary algorithms to identify indicators and themes from the deluge of web content that highlight opportunities and risks around individual companies and industry sectors. Manzama Insights™ employs data-driven models to better inform an organization’s competitive intelligence, business development, sales efforts, and strategic decision making. In January of 2019 Manzama was acquired by Diligent Corporation. Diligent is a global leader in governance solutions for board directors and leadership teams with 8 global offices across 6 countries. Its products and services are trusted by more than 40% of the Fortune 1000 and 70% of the FTSE 100, and trusted by more than 450,000 board directors and executives around the globe. Prior to Manzama, I have a long track record of founding, investing and successfully exiting start-ups.
