Giới thiệu tác giả
. My first real tech job was with Kevin at BVR and Intelysis. After soaking in the bright lights of New York, I transitioned to Dione, exploring the realms of set-top boxes and chip and pin cards. Feeling the pull of the corporate world, I joined Reuters, which was an eye-opener as I managed a group of traders and their trading floors. My big break came when I joined the founding team of Commerce One in Silicon Valley, a company that became a NASDAQ darling. This was followed by my first stint as CEO at Convey in Belgium. Since then, I've been deeply involved in several early-stage companies — some were great experiences, while others were learning opportunities. We've exited from some ventures, while others are ongoing. My most recent role was as Chairman for E-Fundamentals, which was later acquired by CommerceIQ.
Kevin Doyle. I first got to know Kevin when he served as the CTO of BVR, and I'd managed to secure a job there. I recall an evening out in Leamington Spa, with Kevin having a board meeting the next day. Subsequently, Chase acquired the companies, and by the mid-1990s, we all found ourselves in New York with the company rebranded as Intellisys.
Kevin's achievements didn't stop there. He went on to accomplish great feats, including the sale of his Tring-based company, EPL, to an AIM-listed company. The list of Kevin's accomplishments is truly extensive. He's one of the most forward-thinking individuals I've ever encountered, and I'm proud to call him a close friend — almost like a brother
If you asked Kevin about a mentor he ever had, he would say his roots and his Irish father was his mentor
