A pioneer in the development of alumni programs—and former Microsoft executive—Tony created one of the first formal corporate alumni communities in 1995: the Microsoft Alumni Network. Tony has more than 25 years of entrepreneurial experience, has founded five companies, and served on the board of more than a dozen public and private organizations. Tony has long recognized the power of trusted relationships in establishing competitive advantage for companies and started Conenza with the vision of a better world through lifelong relationships between organizations and their people.
