ADDENDUM: Specific international experience

1. Central Point Software - I built relationships with technology partners

in the South of England, where we bought special software components from

them. It involved traveling to their town and engaging in business

discussions with the owners, while an architect from our team worked with

their developers to ascertain the viability of the products.

2. Voxware - Because of my participation in standards bodies and because we

had a sales office in the UK with I frequently worked, I helped build

alliances between France Telecom and Voxware. Specifically, I encountered

them, introduced the company, presented the product and its value

propositions, and began working through the regulatory hurdles to allow

TeleVox (Voxware's product) to be remarketed under the telephone company's

brand. Further, I spent much time with British Telecom in their offices in

southern London discussing business strategies for the two companies.

Finally, I toured several towns in Britain meeting with small game

development companies who were interested in Voxware's products for real-

time voice chat.

3. ITXC - I sought out business partners for telephony gateways, and found

them in a company called VocalTec. During the course of the time with them,

I traveled to Herzliya and several other cities in Israel to do business

with their development and business teams. Also while there I spent time

building alliances with other companies involved in telephony products.

These companies also came to visit me in the U.S. as our deals progressed.

I also met with companies around the world in Hawaii for business

development and interoperability summits.
