Mr. Facq’s Employment
Mr. Facq is a skilled software designer. After working at
Microsoft in the MSN department for about 5 years, he decided to
leave when Microsoft canceled a project in which he had devoted
significant time during the mid-1990s. He began to talk to other
employees at Microsoft to see whether other opportunities were
available. A friend introduced him to Naveen Jain (Mr. Jain),
another Microsoft employee, who was planning to leave Microsoft
to start a new Internet business with an idea he had. Mr. Facq
was interested in the idea and decided to depart Microsoft and
join Mr. Jain’s new Internet and mobile technologies venture,
InfoSpace, in February 1996.
Mr. Facq and Mr. Jain were the two initial founding
employees of InfoSpace. Mr. Facq was responsible for the
technical aspects of InfoSpace. Mr. Facq created, developed,
maintained, and modified the software and technology InfoSpace
used to generate revenues. For example, Mr. Facq developed and
wrote the Web server, ad server, and user manager service
programs. Mr. Jain, on the other hand, handled the
administrative side of the business. Mr. Jain served as
President and administrative head of InfoSpace, allowing Mr. Facq
to focus on the technical aspects required to make InfoSpace
successful. Mr. Facq’s roles included Chief Technical Officer,
Senior Software Design Engineer, and Chief Systems Architect.
