A Word from Bruce
"I have had the tremendous good fortune to join and help build two software startups into industry leaders: Oracle and Siebel. Both capitalized upon technology transformations that led to rapid industry change. Today, the software industry continues to experience technology disruptions such as Web 2.0, SaaS and analytical applications that will drive a whole new class of consumer and enterprise application software. I look forward to working with entrepreneurs who see these opportunities and helping them to build market leading companies."
