| About the Speakers: | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Fred Cohen is a counsel with the firm of LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae L.L.P. associated with its Technology and Intellectual Property Practice. He has been active in the technology sector since the early 80's, having come to the law from the graduate study of mathematics at UC Berkeley. His legal career included an extended period with The Chase Manhattan Bank where he spearheaded the IT legal practice.
Fred has negotiated and documented significant private label and outsourcing transactions domestically and abroad involving clients and vendors such as Chase Manhattan, Westpac, Deutschebank, Firstdata, Unisys, IBM, EDS, Cap Gemini, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young, Verizon, Lucent & AT&T, Cargill. Fred has also counseled extensively with respect to master and one-off training and consulting agreements; non-competes, non-hire and non-solicit agreements, joint venture, teaming, co-branding and co-marketing agreements, and with respect to domain name concerns, trade secrets, trademarks , copyrights and patents, including licensing and corporate transactions (M&A and asset purchase and sales). Bill Harrison is Director of Business Development for Avanade, a global service integration firm focused on Microsoft based technologies and formed from a joint venture between Accenture and Microsoft. Bill has been in the Technology Industry for 25 years. He worked for Compaq Computer/Digital Equipment Corporation for 20 years in a number of management roles in engineering, product sales and professional services. Bill's last role at Compaq was Account Group Director for Compaq Professional Services in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Bill joined Avanade in July of 2000 as the first Avanade Field Sales Director and is responsible for Sales and Marketing in Avanade's East Region. John Miranda, Director, Communication, Standards & Research, Technology Architecture & Standards, AXA Financial (p.k.a.) Equitable Life Insurance, has been employed by this company for nearly 20 years. That means he has pictures and knows where the skeletons in the closets are, including the purchasing process and administrative functions regarding consultants. His claim to fame is that in order to provide senior management with what they wanted, he stealthily "came in under the radar" in 1987 during a 355-person move, by establishing the first enterprise LAN, complete with distributed directory, 3270 terminal emulation, and dial-in to the enterprise e-mail system. After milking that for 10 years, he got kicked upstairs into IT \ Technology Office \ Architecture. He is a professional "suit" by trade and learned the following corporate wisdom from one of his previous managers: "Please, do not confuse this issue with the facts." Walter Sloan has worked as a consultant for over 30 years. His company, Tillinger Consulting Corp, has a long running contract with a very large company. Walt, ICCA NYC-Metro Chapter President, has been active in the chapter for the past few years. He speaks from his experience. Kirby Turner, MCSD, MCAD
