“Entrepreneurs who have a real passion for building the technology, who understand and are willing to let go when necessary, and who understand work, the workplace and how things get done, they are the ones who will succeed.  This is where I can assist the CEO and how we can build companies that last.”

"Rich Moran was a valuable asset in the building of Glu Mobile, our on-going operations and initial public offering.  He was instrumental in providing counsel as we built from 4 employees to 250, created relationships with media companies and other affiliates.  We could not have done it without Rich."
