Level (3) was one of the heaviest capitalized start- up companies in U.S history. It started with $3.5 billion in contributed equity. I was the original SVP of Corporate Systems. We had a very aggressive plan for the build-out of a global fiber optic network. The IT challenge was unprecedented in that we had the opportunity to start with a clean sheet and needed to have IT systems up and running on 3 continents by the end of the first year, 1998. We were able to recruit the best and brightest from all over the world. The Company grew to $5+ billion in revenue through organic growth and M&As. By the Spring of 2000 our market cap was $44 billion. Then we hit the dot.com bubble bust. Level 3 survived because it had become established as the leader in the industry, had a strong balance sheet, and an incredibly resilient culture. Level 3 sold to Century Link (Lumen Technologies) for $34 billion
