SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 3, 2015 /CNW/ -- LeoNovus® Inc. ("LeoNovus") (TSXV: LTV), a leading Internet developer with its SMART Media Platform and distributed Cloud Services announced today that David Bowman, 71, a member of its Board of Directors, passed away on Feb. 15, 2015.
"Dave was tremendously successful over his long career in building revenue and execution strategies for technology companies," said Gordon Campbell, Chairman and CEO of LeoNovus. "He was a great asset on the Board and we will miss his influence. All of us are saddened by his passing."
Early in Dave's career he held senior sales positions with Signetics and Fairchild Semiconductor before moving on to lead the North American sales efforts for Apple in 1979. His sales efforts at Apple were instrumental in creating momentum for their Initial Public Offering (IPO).
Following this success, Dave moved on to the start-up company, CHIPS and Technologies (C&T) as its VP of Sales. C&T was the first fabless semiconductor company, a model developed by its founder Gordon Campbell that went on to be hugely successful. There he sold the first PC-compatible computer into the marketplace that early customers such as Hewlett-Packard and Dell now dominate. Intel acquired the company in 1997. Later Gordon Campbell convinced Dave to take on a new challenge with a technology start-up company called 3dfx Interactive. 3dfx was in the business of designing the first 3D graphics controller, moving the world from 2D to 3D. Dave is credited in building and executing a successful global sales team, driving sales from pre-revenue to tracking $450 million in four years, which resulted in a successful IPO. NVidia later acquired 3dfx.
