Here's a question for you... What American healthcare management company read my blog today after Google searching for Andrew Filipowski?

Most WFU students have no idea that the man driving around our town in a Mini Cooper was once founder and CEO of a very, very famous software company. Flip (aka Andrew J. Filipowski) eventually sold Platinum Technology, Inc. to CA for about four billion dollars, Chair'd the Board for Boston Market 1994-1998, fell in love with a girl from Winston, hopped on the board of Blue Rhino and moved here to start a new software companySilkRoad Technology.

I've had lunch with Flip once before, and it's pretty obvious that he gets it. Intimidating? Yes. Over-hyped? No. Software rock star? Yes. Easy to get a hold of? No. Uses a Treo 600? Yes. Shoots with a Canon G3? No.
