The Bunker is the world's most Secure Internet hosting facility operating out of an ex-nuclear bunker in Southern England. This was a very technical company and when I joined there was no marketing or sales team.

Developed a number of new products (including a v-isp product) and refined existing products to better compete in the market.

Launched an entirely new division and took it to profitability in just 6 months.
