Colleagues describe him as "Ron is a great partner and a great client. Ron and I go back to the late 1990's when he was at SGI/MIPS and getting started with joining the Growth Networks' founding team as CEO. We worked closely to build a great company and team, negotiate a key university license, complete venture capital financings, move the company along, and ultimately have Cisco acquire it successfully. Ron showed vision, loyalty, empathy, drive and smarts throughout. As a testement both to his skills and his seeing things through, he stayed at Cisco in senior corporate positions for several years. As a client, he seeks out great advisors and advice, and both listens to it and integrates it into the relevant decisions and issues. I have also known Ron as a VC in his last two firms. Again, the same great professional and personal qualities. He and I also share an interest in clean technologies going forward, and I see Ron again having dug in, built a good network and really being strategic. Finally, I have known Ron as a member of the local community and a dad in very favorable veins as well." and "Ver effective engineering and business executive, a real pleasure to work with.
