Summary

Gene, We have been retained to conduct an executive search for a very unique Chief Technology Officer position. Our client sold a company that he co-founded for over a billion dollars. Currently, he is developing a new programing language. He has put $5m of his own money into this company and is planning on putting $5m more into it. He has it set up as a non-profit, as he plans on "giving away" the technology. This is his passion project! He retained us to find someone to help him design this new language and ideally manage the entire dev process. He is hoping to find a CTO who can do both, but would consider hiring two people. One person to help him design this new language and the other to build and lead the team. They have several open positions. This new person will be working very closely with our client, taking over about 90% of what he has been doing. We are looking for someone that knows how to design a language not just program one! If you are possibly interested, then PLEASE CLICK HERE TO APPLY first, then send a follow up email if you want to provide additional information. This will get the quickest response! This role is very specific, so we would sincerely appreciate any referrals! We understand this role may not be the right fit for you. However, our business is run on referrals, and we hope to find YOU that great opportunity when the time is right. Please feel free to forward this email to anyone that might be interested. We would sincerely appreciate any assistance! More information on the opportunity is provided directly beneath my contact info below. Please let us know if you or someone else would be interested. Information on all our open positions can be found on our website, www.matchstar.com. I really appreciate your consideration. Sincerely, Carolyne Carolyne P. Connor, President MATCHSTAR VENTURE SEARCH
