While working for SAP, a multi-billion dollar software company, nearly 20 years ago, I was advised to "walk faster and smile less, because perception is reality". I took this to heart and started a business based around the antithesis of this advice. It was 2001 when I started what became Peach, a Learning Platform software company, and recently finalized a successful sale to AKKR, a private equity firm. Currently, I'm working on PropFuel, a Conversational Engagement Platform designed to help make email, SMS and web communications more human. (www.propfuel.com)
