Brian Scott Sommer

While he grew up in rural Texas (and even owns a chunk of the family ranch), Brian is equally comfortable in Silicon Valley, boardrooms, manufacturing plants, etc. He gets business and technology. While he possesses an intense, professional business style, he often falls back into the easy-going, story-telling Texan that is never far away. Brian's a formidable technology industry analyst - because of his experience, he speaks with authority and challenges executives globally. Brian's work experience shaped his world view. He did 18 years with Accenture and even launched a dot-com. He's been on the board of metals firm, an expert witness in a multi-billion dollar software case, and much more.
