We're pleased to have Keith Krach, Co-Founder, Former CEO and Chairman of Ariba, join us to talk about building a high performance management team during periods of growth. As Chairman of the Board and CEO for the first five years of Ariba's history, he grew the company from a start-up to annual revenues of over $500 million, becoming one of the fastest growing software companies in history.
After earning his B.S. Degree in industrial engineering from Purdue and an MBA from Harvard, Krach spent ten years with General Motors, and became their youngest-ever Vice President, leading GM's robotics operations. Keith then took a position as Chief Operating Officer at Rasna Corporation, a rapidly growing software company that was sold in 1995 for $500 million. Krach then became the first entrepreneur-in-residence at Benchmark Capital and in 1996 formed the team to start Ariba. In 2000, he was presented with the Technology Pioneer Award at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland. Additionally, Keith was named National Entrepreneur of the Year in recognition for his accomplishments in eBusiness.
In addition, Jesse Berst, President of the Center for Smart Energy and internationally known technology writer and analyst for PC Week, Computerworld and ZDNet AnchorDesk, will emcee the evening's event and offer his predictions for the technology industry in 2005.
