David joined Netscape in 1995 where he learned from some great leaders and managers. After pitching in on strategy, he led the Directory & Security division that offered among the first commercial products supporting Linux and open source. Later, David led AOL’s Communications, Community & Instant Messaging product divisions as they surpassed 50MM users worldwide. David then joined Tellme Networks as SVP Marketing & Business Development.
