While Bill Gates may be too busy working on the next vaccine, one of his competitors remains committed to its core competency.
The fast-moving company Crexendo (CXDO) is making a splash. Later today, the Crexendo management team will ring the bell at Nasdaq.
A few years ago I had dinner with the then-CEO of Crexendo. The backdrop was this magnificent country club, and the ambiance was equally spectacular. I had met this man’s God-son on a recent trip, and we became instant friends. He learned of my background, and suggested a dinner introduction with his Godfather, Steve.
During dinner Steve asked me what I do for a living. I explained my transition from management consulting to the world of politics. Though my friend Brian set up the meeting, I knew little of Steve. So I asked what he did for a living.
He mentioned his small Arizona-based tech company, which roused my management consulting senses. After hearing him describe the company, I went into consulting mode out of habit. About 5 minutes passed, and he looked curiously at me and said, “You should join our board.”
I laughed the comment off, thinking it was just a dinner platitude. However, a couple of weeks later, Steve phoned me and repeated the request.
My friend has since stepped down as CEO, but remains a major stockholder in the company. In a relatively short amount of time Crexendo has done a remarkable turnaround, and I truly believe this is only the beginning.
In a world dominated by Microsoft and Cisco, there appears a little Arizona-based company willing to slug it out with the big boys. Below is the press release sent out by the company:
Crexendo Growth Surges with Four and a Half Million Users on its Software Platform
