QUICKEN AUTHOR THOMAS PROULX APPOINTED TO PLUMCHOICE’S BOARD OF DIRECTORSVeteran Technology Pioneer Tapped To Help Guide Virtual Computer Support Company To Next Level
"Tom offers PlumChoice's board a tremendous wealth of entrepreneurial experience and his accomplishments within the technology startup space demonstrate a broad range of skills that will directly impact the company’s development," said Ted Werth, CEO of PlumChoice. “PlumChoice is a prime example of the future of technology", raves Thomas Proulx. "Everyday the average computer user is at the mercy of a tech support agent, and in the end after hours on hold, most people must still schlep the computer to a store for repair. Now, within minutes PlumChoice specialists can virtually enter the computer and fix it before your eyes. That’s the future.” Mr. Proulx was a pioneer in the consumer software products industry as the author of Quicken and co-founder of Intuit, Inc., which he started during his senior year at Stanford University in 1983. In 1994, Mr. Proulx became a private investor in technology startup companies and has served on numerous boards including: UpShot, Documagix and NextSet.
