Former NASDAQ Head Joins Metastorm Board of Directors
Severna Park, Md., – J. Patrick Campbell, former
president of NASDAQ U.S. Markets and a decorated Gulf
War veteran, is the newest member of the board of privately
held Metastorm. Campbell will help guide the company
as it continues to grow as a leading supplier of Business
Process Management (BPM) software.
While at NASDAQ, the customary stock exchange for technology
companies, Campbell was an influence that helped it
become the world’s largest stock market and presided
over several momentous events: institution of a new
management team focused on integrity and regulation
following an unfavorable SEC inquiry; eliminating the
perception of a conflict of interest through the separation
from founder and parent the National Association of
Securities Dealers; creation of new products and better
access to information for investors that resulted in
greater visibility and profitability.
Campbell’s other credentials include serving as
NASDAQ’s COO, executive vice president and board
member. He also oversaw equity trading, research and
portfolio management as senior executive vice president
of The Ohio Company. As a US Air Force Command Pilot,
Campbell ran flight operations and flew multiple missions
in KC-135 refueling tankers during the Gulf War for
which he received a Bronze Star and two air medals.
“One look at Pat’s background shows that
he has unsurpassed business acumen, especially when
it comes to fast-growing technology companies,"
says Avi Hoffer, Metastorm’s chairman and CEO.
"He is a hands-on executive who certainly will
help us achieve the aggressive goals we’ve set.”
Campbell joins other high-profile individuals on Metastorm’s
board:
- Harry Copperman, who helped lead America Online
to its successful initial public offering and was
a key figure in returning Digital Equipment Corporation
to profitability prior to its sale to Compaq Computer.
- John H. Dalton, president of IPG Photonics, a fiber
optics company. Dalton was a high-ranking official
during the Carter, Reagan and Clinton
administrations, serving as chairman of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board under Presidents Carter and Reagan,
and Secretary of the Navy from 1993-98 under President
Clinton. Dalton began his career with financial service
firms including Goldman, Sachs & Company.
- J. Carter Beese, Jr., president of Riggs Capital
Partners, a $100 million venture capital fund. Other
highlights of his career are vice chairman of Global
Banking Group at Bankers Trust, chairman of Alex.
Brown International, director of the Overseas Private
Investment Corporation, and Commissioner of the SEC
(the last two being presidential appointments).
- Lawrence Handen, general partner with UBS Capital
Americas, a venture capital and private equity fund
with $2.5 billion under management. Prior to joining
UBS Capital, Mr. Handen was a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers.
- Michael Marocco, managing director of Sandler Capital
Management, a firm with approximately $2.0 billion
under management. Prior to joining SCM, Marocco was
a vice president with Morgan Stanley & Co.
