Marc Tayer, SVP, Marketing & Business Development, Imagine Communications 


“I had the privilege of working with Fred in the exciting start-up phase of Imagine Communications, a leading innovator in digital video technology. As CEO, Fred was enthusiastically engaged in all aspects of launching this new company from ground zero, including business and strategic planning, raising over $9 million of Series A venture capital, and bringing together a strong management team. Fred is an astute business executive with particular strength in understanding the market implications of new technologies, the need to motivate and inspire employees, and the importance of instituting sound financial controls and operational procedures. Fred's legal background provides additional valuable insights and perspective to his management skills.”

Shahbaz Ali, CEO, Tarmin Technologies

“It is a genuine pleasure and honor for me to give Fred my highest recommendation. I worked with Fred directly where he was our Chairman of Tarmin Technologies. I came to admire Fred for his many valuable leadership qualities, his strong devotion to his work and his team, and his ability to meet the tough challenges facing a start-up. Through his mentorship and excellent organization skills ,he has earned my greatest respect several times over. He is a goal driven executive who expects his team to accomplish their tasks on time and on budget. An excellent team player, Fred is exceptionally devoted to his work and his staff. His management style and ability to work with a diverse set of people make Fred a very enjoyable manager to work for. He is well organized, perfect Chairman with Investors, quite aware of the bottom line impact of his and Investors’ decision, and had a knack for recognizing and eliminating waste. I suppose doing well in business is easy if you are, as he is, driven in equal measure by both quality and efficiency.”


Hayden Trubitt, Shareholder (Partner), Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth

“I was impressed with Fred’s energy and imagination as CEO/Chairman and then Chairman of Path 1 Network Technologies, including during its IPO; I was the lead outside corporate lawyer.  The key challenges then were technology transition, sales growth and financing.  But I was even more impressed when, at the Board’s request, he stepped back in as co-CEO during a troubled time.  In very short order, he mended working and reporting relationships and brought solid, rational approaches to product development and sales/marketing.  He showed the ability to develop and implement inside strategies, as well being the face of the company to outside investors and customers.”



Bob Chalfant, VP, Board Member, Standard Communications

His insight into business issues and creative problem solving make him an invaluable asset to any team.”

“Fred and I worked together at Tarmin, where he did an excellent job as our COB. I can't say enough about Fred's ability to provide early mentorship to our CEO before bringing in the balance of the professional management team. He is excellent at both strategic and tactical efforts and his broad past executive experience give him a strong base upon which to guide our CEO in the early days of the company. He worked with us tirelessly on our funding presentation and contacts, providing great feedback and input. Fred not only did a great job as our COB, but also is a real gentleman in an era where this character trait is something often forgotten in the strive to get ahead. I strongly recommend him for any COB and consulting positions. An excellent leader, class act, and strong board member.”

Fred has an engaging personality that helps rally both the troops and investors. In the companies Fred has headed, he has created an atmosphere of both work and fun. He also gives members of his management team the freedom to act on their own, but becomes involved when necessary.
