Reprise | Charles Morgan, First Orion CEO

Up in Your Business with Kerry McCoy

Today on Up In Your Business with Kerry McCoy we're looking back on my interview with Charles Morgan, the founder, chairman and CEO, from 1972 – 2008, of Acxiom, the pioneering and leading data base company headquartered in Central Arkansas. An extraordinary entrepreneur and visionary, he is also really fun, outspoken, and a racecar driver. While many of his colleagues have retired, he is going strong with his newest company, First Orion, a consumer protection app for phone privacy. If you have a T-Mobil device, than you are using his technology. These days, Charles serves on the board of INUVO, a publicly traded, technology company for internet advertisers, and more recently released his second book Now What which follows his tell-all-book, Matters of Life and Data. Listen to find out how this IBM engineer turned his company from a 25 employee start-up to a publicly-traded, billion-dollar tech giant in just 30 years, and managed to become an author, race car driver and so much more along the way.
