From Aberdeen to Atlanta - An Entrepreneur's Journey
In this lecture Dave Cormack will explore what it took to lead three start-up software companies through rapid growth, selling them for a combined $1 billion to companies quoted on both NASDAQ and NYSE stock exchanges.
With a view to understanding the habits and traits of a successful entrepreneur, and lessons-learned, Professor Canales will delve into Dave’s upbringing in Aberdeen, the family move to London in 1986 for business reasons, and the subsequent move to Atlanta, USA in 1995 as a result of the sale of his first start-up software venture.
Dave Cormack is the chairman of Curve Dental Software, and a non-executive director of WebPT Software. He has 36 years of experience in the applications software industry, creating $1 billion of shareholder value through the sale of three start-up ventures.
