Charles Chase’s Summary

I worked as a software engineer for eight years before getting my MBA at USC in 2004. After business school, I reconnected with my good friends Jeff Solomon and Tony Christopoulos to start Leads360, a software and services company focused on helping companies more effectively acquire customers online.

Outside work, I ride dirt bikes (Honda 250X), hike, mountain bike and generally enjoy being outdoors. Ironically I rarely use a computer at home, except to watch my favorite TV shows (my version of Tivo) and read numerous blogs on everything from politics to Buddhism.

I hope to do more traveling over the next few years, although it’s difficult to get away for significant periods of time.

Charles Chase’s Specialties:

Business development transactions, contracts (my attorney calls me a good "jailhouse lawyer"), product strategy, branding...more to come as I think of them.
