Bo Peabody
CEO and President
[email protected]
When he's not crunching numbers or forming alliances with the giants of the business world, Bo can be found getting away from it all in his beloved Massachusetts "out of doors." Many is the time we've seen him relaxing by making a cellular conference call to London while swooshing down the ski slopes, or raising venture capital from his PowerBook while fishing in the Green River (we had to convince him that it isn't called the Revenue Stream). On his rare down-time, Bo is the kind of guy who walks around "downtown" Williamstown and everyone says hello. He's like the sheriff of Silicon Forest.Dick Sabot

Well, now that we've got the pool table (thanks to Bruce's tricky work with our telco's award points system — sounds shady, doesn't it?), Dick has a lot less to tell us "no" about. But he still manages to keep us in line. During his daily visit to the offices, we all snap to attention when we hear his voice — which is relatively easy since his voice seems particularly well-trained for the ins and outs of sound travel. As for the Chairman's role within the company? Let's just say that we like to think of ourselves as the Angels to Dick's Charlie.
JoAnn Bates-Fine
Executive Assistant

Behind every successful CEO is a firm foot, nudging them in the right direction. Our firm, ebullient, and brainy "foot" is JoAnn, who recently returned home from far-off lands, bringing (literally) a world of experience with her to Williamstown. And Bo's not the only one who has to shape up: A former crisis phone counselor, JoAnn scoffs at the things which make us panic (late Fed Ex packages, lost interviewees, feisty servers...) as though it would take a lot more than this to faze her. Hey, we're talking about a woman with two teenagers in the house and about five dozen cousins in town who still finds time to finish off the New Yorker and the Sunday Times each week over a glass of red wine...
