What a magical day in Booth 61. My HUNTER Technical Resources family celebrated the 15th anniversary of Atlanta’s Premier IT Staffing Firm and talked about the past and future of IT Staffing. Clint Bailey, Tracy Bailey, Alex Brown, and Scott Hall gave a great overview of how they started with very little in one of their apartments 15 years ago and how they are now one of Atlanta’s most respected and successful IT Staffing firms. The host talked a little more than he should but he just could not help himself. I have worked in a lot of industries and for a lot of interesting companies over the years even including an IT Staffing firm. I have not worked for a harder working group of young people with more integrity, character, and sense of fair play than Hunter Technical Resources. You will hear each of the four partners share their insight about what they attempted and what they accomplished. They all have a little different perspective but the story weaves itself into a beautiful quilt of many colors, people, clients, candidates, and just as importantly, our community. Hunter is the most generous company of its size in this industry, bar none.

The partners also gave a history of the IT Staffing industry in Atlanta. They have witnessed first hand remarkable changes these past 15 years and they see more changes in the near future.

You will also hear about a few of the not for profit organizations we support in our community. We are proud of what we have been able to accomplish as a team. Lives have been changed from the contribution of time and money from the Hunter team.

As you can see, the host is having just as hard a time writing the recap without inserting himself into the action as he had during the recording of the show. As Bobby Brown sang long before he married Whitney, “It’s My Prerogative”. 🙂

One of the many blessings of being in our Atlanta Technology Community is I have the privilege of meeting a lot of very interesting people. Some become friends over the years and some become family. Jeff McConnell is a person who has become family to me. Jeff has gone out of his way time after time to help me, encourage me, and introduce me into his network.

Jeff McConnell is one of Atlanta’s leading advocates for the technology start-up community. Jeff is involved in mentoring, judging presentations, and coaching young entrepreneurs as they launch their companies. Although Jeff is a die hard Florida Gator, he shares his passion for Georgia Tech and all of the great innovation that come from the ATDC and other Georgia Tech programs.  In addition, Jeff has been a senior executive in the payments space for many years.

I first began spending quality time with Jeff at his home where he hosts a once a month wine tasting. Jeff hosts the event, cooks all the food, and his wonderful family drop in to say hello to the guests. Jeff does this at no cost to anyone other than Jeff. He is a giver and a creator of opportunities for others. In this informal gathering people have found new jobs, business has been transacted, introductions to capital or talent have occurred and great friendships have developed.

You will learn a great deal by listening to this interview. If you ever have the opportunity to meet or hear Jeff speak, drop what you are doing and go to that event. I promise it will be worth every minute of your time.

Thank you for being such a great friend to me and to our technology start-up community, Jeff!

Stephen Fleming, Georgia Tech Executive Visits Booth 61

May 13th, 2013 the Atlanta CEO Council held it’s most recent gathering. Another All Star crowd of Atlanta and beyond technology superstars visited the Ritz Carlton Buckhead for the best Lamb Chops on Planet Earth. For almost 15 years the Atlanta CEO Council has created an environment where new relationships are created and deals get done. Over 150 technology entrepreneurs, angel investors, venture capitalists, professional services providers, and other VIP’s gather to do business.

This month’s program began with a presentation by Russ Clark and Matt Sanders from Georgia Tech about the project/research/commercial viability of Magic Window. After the informative presentation, everyone moved into the reception where Booth 61 was able to interview a handful of the guests. There was a lot of energy in the room and I personally wish I could have interviewed twenty more of these fine folks.

Always a pleasure and a privilege to spend time with my friend, Stephen Fleming. I met Stephen in the last 1990’s when he was a Venture Capitalist and I was a starving entrepreneur. Stephen did not invest with me but he always treated me with respect and dignity unlike many of the venture community. Stephen’s impact on our community has been huge both as an investor and as the Vice President of Georgia Tech. One of the nations top incubators is the ATDC and Stephen is expanding the operation across the state.

It was an honor for my long time friend and former boss, Michael Kogon joined me early in the evening. I joined the Board of Directors of Definition 6 in 2000 or 2001 and served on the Board until joining the company full time in 2007 as the Chief Development Officer. I learned a lot of great lessons from Michael and I know I am a smarter person for having served with him over the years.
