Meet Our Team:
Tim McKissick, CEO
Tim’s done nothing but startups and turnarounds. IT was always a black hole; hitting an IT budget was impossible. Cloud computing has changed all that. There’s finally a way to know what your IT expense is going to be.
Tim was part of LensCrafters during their rapid expansion years, helping LC to become the number one optical retailer in the US. The founder of LensCrafters, Tim, and a few others formed a holding company to spread the one hour eyeglass concept worldwide. Tim was Managing Director of the Australian company Vision Express, which was the springboard for a Europe wide expansion. In 1990, Tim was hired by General Electric Pension Trust to perform a successful turnaround on one of their investment companies. Subsequent to that Tim raised money in the private sector for another start up and has consulted with various private and exchange listed companies. He was instrumental in the turnaround and sale of a NASDAQ listed telecommunications software company. Tim joined Bill Ruby in order to provide system development expertise in order to enhance and expand Rubiconn.
In addition to having been the CEO of a number of start ups, both domestically and internationally, Tim is a motorcycle enthusiast and has a daughter in grad school in Texas.
