Insights from this interview with Ray Simmons:
“Going public with CRS … was not me. That’s why I retired.”
“Retirement was quite challenging. I felt like I was disconnected.”
“55% of our business last year was in Europe. Asia is our next frontier. We like India.”
“Regrets? Two…”
“I think that in a technologly company a president that is totally focussed on technology is dangerous.”
“We’re on Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter.”
