Philippe is a Harvard educated, C-level executive with multi-industry, international experience at leading Forbes Global 300 companies. Add to that, the fact that he is an entrepreneur and investor, and you have one remarkable business professional. Philippe held multiple executive positions at the Linde Group, including CEO LG Ltda in Sao Paulo, Brazil. He also served as Deputy Group CIO and SVP Finance at Saint-Gobain. He has a huge portfolio of global finance experience, including all aspects of corporate procurement and supply-chain management. Recently relocated to Boulder, CO, Philippe is an active Charter Member of TiE Rockies and is already utilizing his talents to re-shape the TiE Rockies-Innovation Pavilion Funding Program (TRIP FP). He is engaged with multiple start-ups and other ventures and is clearly destined to be a significant player in the Colorado entrepreneurial scene.
Relationship with Ray: Ray and Philippe met each other via TiE Rockies and have worked together to build and grow the TRIP FP. Ray was immediately impressed, not only with Philippe's amazing global experience, but also his fundamental grasp of the cyber security threat to capitalism and the urgency to think out-of-the-box to develop and apply new strategies to solve the problem. Philippe's understanding of these matters no doubt is directly linked to his previous CIO and procurement experiences, which he leveraged off and expanded upon in subsequent positions. Philippe will be a valued team member who can help formulate and execute the global strategy that will drive Data1Qbit's growth.
Full testimonial: I come from a background of solving big problems in a global arena. I get excited about big problems, big solutions, and big thinkers. Cyber security is THE big problem of today and Ray's Data1Qbit solution will clearly be part of the answer. There will undoubtedly be an insatiable global demand for cyber security company and product data. Beyond the obvious VAaaS benefits, I immediately grasped the value of Data1Qbit's data stream to the insurance underwriting industry. I see virtually unlimited market potential in this area. I am happy to be part of this effort and support Ray fully.
