Robert Treat

20+ year tech career that spans from first-line technical support to CEO of a multi-million dollar tech company. I've done the founder thing, the board thing, the acquisition thing, but I've also been laid off and had to lay people off, so I understand wins, losses, and the trade-offs therein.
