Profile bio
About Robert Dunn
I'm a Partner in H.I.E.C's Software & Technology Practice, providing organization-assessed and optimized executive searches (CEO, COO, CFO, VPs) across all asset classes and growth stages. I have over thirty years of experience working with growth-oriented technology companies as an operator, advisor, and investor. I've had four solid exits (WebLogic, Gauntlet Systems, Input Factory, Wavefront), and a bankruptcy (and plenty of disappointments in between). I advise companies on capital formation and strategy (equity and debt; entity points and stack), corporate strategy (SIP recognition and remediation), PMF (asymmetry reduction, VC/VSA/VC), product packaging, GTM strategy, commoditization avoidance, scaling (ceteris paribus vs complexity), executive hiring and operational planning (I've built dozens of Op Plans from scratch and reviewed hundreds of Op Plans).I'm an avid reader of great literature (Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Dickens, Shakespeare, Steinbeck, Hemingway, Hugo et al), a layman economist (Smith, Marshall, Coase, Veblen, Schumpeter, Hayek), and an enthusiastic bicyclist.

Coo
As Advisor, and then COO, I assisted the company in building out the organization as it developed from a product idea with no revenue to a sophisticated cloud security product with solid revenue growth. Operated the length of my tenure without any permanent CEO in place. Oversaw acquisition due diligence with three public technology firms resulting in multiple offers, one of which (Denali) was the best offer (and the highest MOIC) the company ever received. (The external board chose to pass.)
Nov 2017 - Aug 2019
Advisor
Brought in shortly after incorporation to assist the Lacework founders. I acted as the company's part-time CFO and assisted them in multiple areas during their growth. I worked with founders Sanjay Kalra and Vikram Kapoor as they built what promised to be one of the most advanced cloud security company in the world. I joined as COO after I completing my post-Wavefront acquisition obligation to VMware.

Senior Director, Finance
I joined VMware as part of their acquisition of Wavefront. I focused on multiple transitional matters related to VMware's integration of Wavefront.
May 2017 - Nov 2017
Cfo
Wavefront had one of the most innovative and powerful technology products of any company that I've worked with. I was initially an Advisor to Wavefront, but as they took off I was asked to join to oversee all Finance and Administration functions. Wavefront had stellar investors: Sequoia Capital, Sutter Hill Ventures, and later Tenaya Capital, VMware, and Dell. As the CFO, I oversaw all Finance, Accounting, HR, Facilities and Legal functions. I developed the company's first Op Plan, took them through their first audit, implemented a robust debt facility, handled rapid growth in headcount, converted the accounting system from QB to NetSuite, oversaw a complex $52MM Series B round (with three strategic investors), and handled all due diligence and legal matters related to the $375M acquisition of Wavefront by VMware.
