Bob’s career spans 35 years principally running IT organizations in the manufacturing, retail and High Technology space. In 1996 he made the jump to an entrepreneurial role and founded NaviSite; a highly differentiated MSP funded by CMGI. As CEO, NaviSite achieved all of its operational goals over the next four years resulting in a successful IPO
in October 1999 raising 89M.
Following NaviSite Bob spent three years in the Private Equity sector with Boston based Alta Communications as an Entrepreneur in Residence. Specific duties were to assess and advise on potential investment deals, provide guidance to portfolio companies on all operational and strategic goals and sit on the Boards of several companies.
Following the Alta experience Bob was recruited to assess Venture backed Colubris Networks a wireless networking company based in Waltham Ma. The company was underperforming in a robust market place however within 9 months the company completed a turnaround resulting in a sale to Hewlett Packard.
Currently Bob is working again in the Private Equity space on projects relating to mergers and acquisitions of cloud companies in addition to working as an active board member on charitable projects that are of personal interest to him and his wife.
