-3- 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.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Next
