President, DeVry University Chicago

DeVry University serves 15,000 students in undergraduate and graduate programs in business and technology.

CEO, Catalyst International, Inc.

Catalyst was a NASDAQ nationally traded supply chain software company that was bleeding cash, had only about 3-4 months of cash on hand and faced widespread customer attrition and lawsuits (Fortune 50 companies). Aggressive action allowed the company to survive, grow revenue by more than 50% and return to profitability. Shareholder value recovered and the company was taken private and ultimately acquired by CDC.

Division President, D & B Software

The software division of Dun & Bradstreet was acquired by Geac Computer Corp., a public Canadian company. With revenues approaching $500 million, the business had not grown in 10 years and was suffering significant losses. By focusing on the core business, adding modest product extensions and adding a service offering, the company grew by an average of 12% per year and became significantly profitable.

CEO, Visual Intelligence, Corp.

Visual Intelligence was a three-year-old technology startup that had no products, no capital and little commercial revenue. The company survived, became profitable and was the leading firm in a small niche market. The company was acquired.

Receiver, Repository Technologies, Inc.

RTI, a small privately held CRM software supplier, entered Chapter 11. As the Federal District Court appointed receiver, the company became cash flow positive and was successfully sold.
