More information about David Nault

David learned early on the meaning of lean start-up while at VIPswitch when he had to get large customer validation for a disruptive telecom technology for which he later helped raise $15 million to grow. Thereafter, while director of business development at Pivotal Payments, an emerging payment processor, he experienced what creating traction was all about when the company grew from a few to over 60,000 customers, 400 employees and more than $8 billion in transaction volume, after which he was asked by investors to be president of Callio Technologies whose intellectual property was acquired by Bell Canada.
