Then there's Andy Abramson. If you have digital media or technology company (like I do), then you'll know who he is (if you don't, you should). Andy is part of the digerati. He is an influencer in the world of digital media and technology. He runs his own PR and consulting company. And, he too is hot. Not necessarily because of his music or his hair, but because he has the Knack! (by the way, they too were pop idols to screaming teens and tweens now 30 years ago!). Okay, a different kind of knack, but still the knack.
Andy's knack is that he picks "winners" in the technology world time and time again. This time it is voice and video technology company Global IP Solutions or GIPS. GIPS is the 18th company with which Andy has worked closely that has seen a successful exit (fortunately, my former company SightSpeed was one of those successful companies -- we were acquired by Logitech in November 2008). As I blogged yesterday, GIPS has just been acquired by Google for $68 million in cash.
So, which came first? The chicken or the egg? The successful company or the Abramson? I think both. There are no coincidences. Andy can help drive real successes. Sorry Bieber, Andy is hotter. He has proven that he has staying power in his industry. Will you be able to do the same?
