Overview
About Me :

I'm currently the CEO of PathConnect, the development partner of MTDN; as well as a proud board member of MTDN. 

Over the past 25 years I've been fortunate to learn from and work with some of the brightest people in the enterprise software industry.  My areas of experience and expertise are R&D, product strategy and management, customer support, marketing, corporate strategy, business development and M&A.   A long journey having started as a software engineer at ASK Computer Systems in 1982, after attending UC Berkeley.

Prior to PathConnect, I was SVP of Applications Strategy at Oracle, which acquired Agile Software in July 2007.  At Agile, I was the EVP and Chief Product Officer responsible for business development and corporate strategy. Previous to Agile, I was responsible for charting the strategic direction for product and technology related initiatives and activities at PeopleSoft as the Vice President of Products and Technology Strategy.  One of the most rewarding professional experiences for me was as the chairman, CEO, and Founder of SkillsVillage, Inc. which was acquired by PeopleSoft in 2001.

Causes And Collaboration
Other Ways I Would Like to Make a Difference
As a experienced software professional, I've had the pleasure to work with and learn from a number of colleagues, employees, customers and business partners.

Working with the Make The Difference Network, gives me the opportunity to utilize all those contacts, relationships and years of experience to help fulfill our mission of "democratizing giving". There are a number of causes and nonprofits that will undoubtedly benefit through MTDN. We encourage everyone to join us, whether its time, ideas or money.

It's been some of the most rewarding and fun months of my life working with the founders of MTDN; Jon, Kent, Justin, Kim and of course Jesse. I thank them all for the opportunity, their vision and their passion to truly "making a difference".
