I started at Texas Instruments where I was responsible for forecasting material for TI's international minicomputer business. I oversaw international order entry, my first taste of management. My world changed when TI introduced the TIPC to compete with the IBM personal computer. I purchased a TIPC and met Ted Waitt the CEO of TIPC Network. We began working on a series of projects including the sale of used TIPCs back to Texas Instruments. I left TI to pursue an MBA at the University of Texas. After one semester, out of money, I returned to TI doing marketing and support for the Latin American Division. I continued with my MBA full time while working full time at Texas Instruments. That was one of the most rewarding and challenging times of my life.After receiving an MBA with a 3.8 GPA, I was promoted to Latin American Sales, Marketing and Support manager. I traveled throughout Latin America and learned to speak Spanish.After 5 years, Ted Waitt had created a burgeoning computer company, and I became Gateway 2000's first Director of Marketing. Gateway was booming and I held a succession of increasingly challenging positions including VP of Marketing, VP of Desktop Products, General Manager Gateway Europe, and SVP of Gateway Consumer, responsible for sales, marketing and support worldwide.I started PC Matic while visiting the ex-president of Gateway, Rick Snyder. I invested $1M to get her off the ground and became the company's first and only CEO. PC Matic is a virtual company which allowed me to purchase a second residence in Rio de Janeiro where I learned Portuguese. I am proud to say that the company has grown into a successful and profitable company developing and marketing high-quality security software into the United States, UK and Japan. I can say for sure that PC Matic will be the last job I will ever want.
