“Bruce recruited me into Portal Software (prior to the acquisition by Oracle) where I worked directly for him for several years. He played a key role in repositioning Portal Software after the dot.com bubble and telecom crash by rebuilding field teams to focus not only on the core telecom markets but by also thinking out of the box and positioning our products to a broader enterprise market. While the competition was simply trying to survive after the telecom crash, Bruce’s leadership took the team and our business to new heights. His vision and energy enabled significant growth in our North America and Latin American businesses which ultimately helped lead to a positive acquisition by Oracle. Bruce is a natural born leader that can execute extremely well in start-up operations, emerging companies and larger corporations. Post acquisition by Oracle he navigated brilliantly for 4+ years by more than tripling revenues across our business which ultimately resulted in the team winning key recognition and regional awards within Oracle.”
