Shawn is co-founder of PDQ.com A SysAdmin at heart, he’s spent his career making life better for his peers by building excellent software for them. PDQ.com came into existence in 2001 after the founders spent their professional lives supporting IBM Tivoli Framework and Microsoft SCCM for very large organizations (10,000+ systems). They decided to take a different road and they created a systems management solution for the SMB market.
Bootstrapped by necessity, (noone would fund them), PDQ grew slowly, then more rapidly before taking PE investment in 2021 where Shawn transitioned from CEO to his current role on the board. Shawn attended every BoS Conference since we started until he missed his first in 2022 as he was on a cruise after selling his company. His talk, ‘From Bootstrapped to a Billion’ is a tour de force.
