As CFO, Tom oversees all of OpenAir's financial, regulatory and statutory responsibilities. In this role since OpenAir's founding in 1999, Tom has sailed through uncharted waters in creating a scalable, sustainable and profitable recurring revenue model for an on-demand software company-a rare achievement today, and a rarer one still in 1999. Tom has led OpenAir through three rounds of financing and has grown the company from a four person startup to a multi-million dollar enterprise.
Before co-founding OpenAir, Tom was Vice President, Strategic Alliances at Prodigy Communications Corp., where he was instrumental in launching the company's first standalone Internet access service. He was also an important participant in the company's initial public offering in February 1999. Prior to joining Prodigy, Tom worked in financial and strategic roles-both domestically and internationally-in the telecommunications industry. Tom has also worked as an investment banker in the telecommunications space, and is a published author with works appearing in several industry periodicals.
Tom received his BA from Holy Cross, and an MBA from Duke (Fuqua). |
