Anthony Gold’s Summary
While my love for open source and its societal enablement of true “mass collaboration” hasn’t waned one bit, I knew I wanted to use those “movements” to do more than just help businesses save money and reach new heights. I found the perfect opportunity in an organization called Healthy Humans.
Healthy Humans is an amazing company consisting of some of the world’s top medical doctors in integrative medicine (including folks like Dr. Mehmet Oz of Oprah fame). Their mission – help people with chronic illness (like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, crohn’s & colitis, and many more) get unbelievable outcomes. All built on the premise that instead of just treating the symptoms of illness, but by looking at the underlying physiology and psychology of an individual that you can dramatically enhance the condition. The underlying software engines are built on open source software (of course), and leverage the evidence-based research and MD clinical expertise to build personalized wellness plans for individuals.
The moment a Healthy Humans user told me, “Your program has changed my life” (she has type 2 diabetes and was able to significantly reduce her A1c’s and lose weight she could never lose before), I was hooked. Consumer-directed healthcare is big, and by leveraging open source concepts with an incredible medical team, many lives can be touched.
Prior to Healthy Humans, I grew a software & services startup business from scratch to over $600m, and was named as one of the “top business leaders who matter the most in 2008” by LinuxWorld magazine. I was one of the original inventors of the ES7000, which is now in the Guinness Book of World Records for hosting the largest number of concurrent gamers. I also invented and designed several mainframes which subsequently generated billions of dollars in total revenue. I have eight patents around computer design and architecture. My passion: leveraging technology to do amazing things for the world.

The chronic conditions Healthy Humans covers include diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, crohn’s & colitis, IBS, arrhythmias, macular degeneration, lupus, and several others. The company launched its diabetes solution and soon plans to release programs for several other conditions.

VP & GM, Open Source Business
Unisys
(Public Company; UIS; Information Technology and Services industry)
November 2005 — March 2009 (3 years 5 months)
I built this open source software & services business at Unisys … everything from the original business plan through to the engineering, marketing, channel development, training, sales, delivery, and support. In one year, we far exceeded our revenue targets, established Unisys as the largest Systems Integrator in the Open Source space, and were noted by InfoWorld as “Open Source’s biggest services gun.”

VP/GM, ES7000 Solutions
Unisys Corporation
(Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; UIS; Information Technology and Services industry)
November 2000 — November 2005 (5 years 1 month)
I was one of the inventors of the ES7000 before I took over running this business. The ES7000 was the world’s first Intel mainframe and holds several number one records for performance and price per performance. The ES7000 is also in the Guinness Book of World Records for hosting the largest number of concurrent CounterStrike gamers at the Dreamhack gaming conference. I proudly display that plaque on my wall.
It was also in this role that I had some incredible mentors and learned how to be a truly effective leader. I was (and still am) a big proponent of Emotional Intelligence, and leveraged those skills to build some really good organizations. Year over year, my teams held the lowest attrition numbers (for top rated employees) and the highest professional satisfaction ratings. -
Vice President, Hardware Engineering
Unisys
(Public Company; 10,001 or more employees; UIS; Information Technology and Services industry)
June 1988 — November 2000 (12 years 6 months)
This is where I started my career. I began designing computers, mainframe computers that is. I found that job to be intellectually stimulating, but it (the job) was too far removed from the market and the customers. I had the honor and privilege of inventing, designing, and architecting several of Unisys’ best-selling mainframes. During my computer design years, I amassed eight patents around design and architecture. And, I once solved an extremely perplexing (and costly) mainframe problem by combing my hair. If you want to get to know me, ask me about that story.
Anthony Gold’s Education

Drexel University
BS , Electrical Engineering , 1984 — 1988
One of the best engineering schools, and one I'm very glad I attended. The co-op program is amazing ... I think every school should offer it.
Senior project: Along with partner Dan McMennamin (one of the smartest guys I've ever met), designed and prototyped an optical character recognition system utilizing Digital Signal Processing (DSP) transformation techniques. We also tried unsuccessfully to build a business around this idea. We certainly learned a lot, and it was a ton of fun.- Activities and Societies:
- Phi Eta Sigma honor society, Academic Dean's list, Lamda Chi Alpha fraternity
