NetMechanic CEO and leadership

Information technology executive, with over 35 years of success in scaling rapidly growing, disruptive technology businesses from initial market entry to multi product-line, global leaders. Markets include systems, networking, cloud, and infrastructure software. 4 time CEO for both private and public companies. Over the past 3 years, following its spin-out as an independent Thoma Bravo portfolio company, Dynatrace continues to lead and redefine the Application Performance Monitoring market. Now a half-billion dollar business, with global scope and retooled flagship platform, the company is hitting on all cylinders. Its exciting to be helping so many global leaders transform from their traditional business into digital business leaders.Prior to Dynatrace, I've been CEO of 2 other private and 1 public company, the public company being Interwoven. What I've learned over the years is that a rock solid product that works as advertised combined with a keen focus on customer success are two critical ingredients for a successful technology business. Couple this with attracting and retaining an A-caliber executive team and insuring prudent fiscal habits and you have a formula for long term success.Over the years my long suit has been sales, marketing and business development, with strategy, product operations and executive managment added along the way. I enjoy building and leading great teams, attacking new markets or redefining existing markets, and figuring out the formula that will drive rapid growth given product, market and competitive dynamics.Specialties: Inherent leadership skills, build and nurture winning teams, identify and execute on effective growth strategies, develop effective relationships with market makers, fiscally responsible with right balance between frugality and growth.
