I first met Rory Cowan, CEO of Lionbridge Technologies, at a LISA conference ten years ago in Washington D.C. I remember Mike Anobile saying to me, “Do you think any of these people understand what he’s saying?” That talk was full of references to inflection points and such. Lionbridge at that time was a US $16 million dollar in annual sales company and had yet to launch its IPO.
