Rick Thompson

Rick is a serial entrepreneur, in a good way. Prior to founding Playdom, Rick co-founded and served as CEO and/or chairman of two successful Internet technology companies, Adify and FlyCast Communications. Rick was also on the founding team of Octel Communications, a leading manufacturer of voice information processing systems. As the oldest (and, um, wisest) member of Playdom’s founding team, Rick helps shape business strategy and reminds us to always think big. Rick holds a BS in psychology from UCSC and an MBA from the Wharton School.
