Experience

A serial entrepreneur, Tim built two software infrastructure companies before joining Sierra in 2001. He headed Sales and Marketing functions at Scopus Technology (NASDAQ:SCOP), which went public in 1995, and was a leader in the CRM space. After that, Tim founded and was CEO of Octane Software, a leading provider of e-commerce infrastructure, which he sold to Epiphany (NASDAQ:EPNY) in 2000 for $3.2B. "I love helping build companies, and entrepreneur's can relate to that passion in me," says Tim. "I'm the coach who played the game before, not just the guy that's giving advice but has never been on the field."

Education & Background

Tim's playbook is built not only on 20 years of hands-on operating and investing experience, but also on a solid technical education. Tim holds a BSEE from Punjab Engineering College in India and a MS in IEOR and Robotics from Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
