Who

Randy Parker, President/CEO:

Randy founded and bootstrapped the SaaS pioneer Constant Contact (Nasdaq:CTCT). Constant Contact is best known for its email marketing service focused primarily on very small businesses. More recently, Parker has been instrumental to small business-focused initiatives with companies like Intuit and IBM.

For further background, please consult his LinkedIn profile and his About.Me profile.

Fun Facts: In 2012, Randy will celebrate several innovation anniversaries: 35 years of using email, 30 years since arriving at the MIT AI Lab, 25 years since he deployed a hands-free expert system driven by speech recognition (used at NASA), and his 25th year of developing software for tablet computers. He worked on one of the most-trafficked sports sites MapleLeafs.com, but remained a Bruins fan throughout.
