Kyle 78 - Bowker

After graduation, I attended Tyler Junior College, Southern Methodist University (BBA - 1982) and The University of Texas at Tyler (MBA - 1984). Following graduation at UTT I went to work for Management Science America in the Information Technology and Software business. My career has been in this field since graduation from UTT. I moved to San Francisco as Executive Vice President of Worldwide Field Operations for Informatica in July 2001. Following that, I was the Chief Executive Officer of Nextance, Inc. and sold the company to Versata Enterprises in July 2007. I was very glad to be able to move back to Dallas in January 2008 where I am Sr. Vice President of Global Sales for Allegro Development. I've been very fortunate that I have traveled around the world during the past 25 years during my career and been based in Germany, England, France, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Sinagpore, Venezuela, Colombia and Brazil. I am very glad to spend time with my family and friends back in Texas.

The most memorable story while at WHS was the night Russell Martin and I were out drinking beer after water skiing at the lake - and we went to Andy Jarvis' house. It was around 2 AM and since we didn't want to wake Andy up, Russell left, let's say, a very unusual gift on Andy's front doorstep - of which Andy found the next morning. Needless to say, he wasn't impressed!
