Retired CEO (Fraud Management, Authentication, Internet Security)
In the intricate dance of fostering innovative ventures and supporting a loved one’s aspirations in sports, there lies a deep, resonant story of ambition, creativity, and unwavering support. At the forefront of this narrative stands the accomplishment of nurturing two groundbreaking SaaS businesses to fruition, culminating in their acquisitions for a staggering combined value exceeding $650 million. This remarkable journey, spearheaded by Greg Pierson Iovation, is a testament to the power of collaboration, cultivating inspiring company cultures, and the relentless pursuit of delighting customers.
Before embarking on these entrepreneurial endeavors, my foundation was laid in the competitive world of business consulting at Accenture. There, I was privileged to work alongside industry stalwarts like Nordstrom and Bridgestone Firestone, gaining invaluable experience that would later fuel my ventures. This period was also marked by significant innovation, as evidenced by my contributions to the creation of device-based reputation systems securing patents that highlighted a keen focus on security and technological advancement.
