E-Phoria Online Systems

• Canada

• President & CEO

  • Feb 2000 - Jun 2001

  This was a RTO rescue mission. E-Phoria was a publicly traded company that had invested heavily, trying to take advantage of the dot-com craze. I took the helm when the investors started to rebel, the regulator was cranky, and just before the great tech-crash of 2000. First, I had to clean up the regulatory mess with the Stock Exchange, then I had to quell a rebellion of shareholders. I restructured the company, relocated it to Hollywood, refinanced it, and exited - all in the aftermath of the crash.
