    Achievements

    Early employee at Plaxo, a "social networking pioneer" (yes, maybe we should have been LinkedIn...), grew team from scratch to over 100 employees, and 20M users, and successfully brokered an acquisition by Comcast Interactive Media in 2008 for $155M

    Formed "Comcast Silicon Valley" and as CTO helped start transforming the cable giant into a technology and software company. Worked on the next generation X1 (IP based TV platform)

    "Co-founded" (intrapreneurship) and launched social TV app Tunerfish (Foursquare-for-TV)

    Before all that, lead engineer at Liberate Technologies (IPO 1999)
