McIntyre Associates & Foundstone – the Partnership

In late 2001, we were invited by OVP Ventures, a valued VC client with whom we had succeeded on earlier liquidity events in the Wireless Software/eCommerce space, to compete for Foundstone’s search business. The company was just entering the phase where it needed to recruit product-oriented executives to achieve its real potential, which is where we typically get retained, acting as trusted partner and advisor to early stage growth companies. We won the assignment, and worked intensely for 3 years to help the company reach its potential, right on through to a profitable exit, when we were acquired by McAfee (NYSE – MFE) in late 2004. In addition to executive and board recruiting we function as key consultant to the CEO on issues regarding organizational development.  We also worked industry events with the client (RSA 2002 & 2003), helped with partnership development, media/positioning, and competitive intelligence.
