FOUNDER DIALOGUES

Founder Dialogues is a Cambridge-based public event series featuring successful founders.

Have you ever wondered about the founders behind successful companies?  How did they dream up their businesses?  How did they get enough conviction to bet on success?  What path led them to where they are now?  What challenges did they face?  What advice would they give to future entrepreneurs?

Founder Collective is dedicated to creating a forum for the start-up community to have these and more questions answered. We hope to enhance connections between entrepreneurs, students, venture capital funds, and early-stage startups through the real-life success stories of selected startup founders.

ANDY ORY

Andy Ory is a co-founder of Acme Packet and serves as president and chief executive officer, responsible for the company's overall strategy and operations.  Under Andy's leadership, Acme Packet pursues its mission to enable service providers and enterprises worldwide to unleash the power of interactive voice, voice, and unified communications over IP networks.


During Andy's decade-long tenure, he has spearheaded Acme Packet's growth from a young startup pioneering a new product category and technology called session border control to today dominating that category and delivering an expanding product portfolio that is fueling a new paradigm in communications - session delivery networks.


With more than 20 years of telecommunications and computer industry experience, Andy's ability to guide Acme Packet successfully as it implements its innovation is borne out in numbers.  The company was ranked NASDAQ's 2010 #1 performing stock for companies with a valuation of $1 billion or greater.  More than 1,300 customers in 105 countries have developed over 12,000 Acme Packet systems, including 90 of the top 100 service providers and 30 of the Fortune 100.


Prior to co-founding Acme Packet, Andy was the founder, CEO and chairman of Priority Call Management, which produced network-based solutions that allowed service providers to offer prepaid calling, enhanced messaging and one-number services.


We look forward to hearing Andy's firsthand accounts of yet another Boston success story!
