How do you take an idea and build the infrastructure necessary to scale it to handle millions or hundreds of millions of users? In my career I've spent the last 20 years learning how to do this. I started small, helping to build a smalll regional ISP in Dallas and selling it in 1999. Then moving onto building out a nationwide IP network for a CLEC in the late 90's and early 2000's, overseeing the design and buildout of the network and the integration of over a dozen acquisitions. Finally joining a small company with big ideas, and helping build a market leading global cloud computing business that was eventually sold to IBM in 2013. Looking ahead I'm excited about what the next 20 years will bring and the changes that I can help bring to the industry.
