Don was a defining principal at Netcom Communications and @Home Network, whose work helped make commercial Internet access, services and applications available to widespread consumer and business audiences. As SVP and GM, he built @Home’s business-focused @Work division into a leading provider of internetworking services, with over 5,000 new business accounts. As Netcom’s SVP for Sales & Marketing, Don drove the company’s rise to prominence as a leading Internet service provider to consumers and businesses, growing revenue from $2M to over $120M between 1994 and 1996. With the company founder and CFO, he successfully marketed the company’s December, 1994 public offering, making Netcom the first ‘pure-play’ Internet venture to go public. Don served as Chairman and CEO of Work.com, a business information and services portal that rapidly garnered over one million unique users, $10 million in annual revenue, and a Media Metrix Top 10 B2B ranking before being sold. Don has led investments in, advised, and served on the boards of other internet ventures, including Critical Path (IPO), Exodus (IPO), Raindance Communications (IPO) and Zengine (IPO). Today, Don is an investor and advisor to a number of net-enabled application, service and technology ventures.
