Founder and visionary leader of dinCloud, Bob Din brings international business experience to the Cloud. Bob has owned numerous companies in the technology space, including a national VAR & Microsoft LAR where he pioneered B2B ecommerce and the ability to place orders in real time for what distributors such as Ingram Micro and others have in stock. Under Bob’s leadership, the business grew to ~$1B/year annual revenue & became the first publicly traded Minority Business Enterprise in the U.S. that was certified by the National Minority Supplier Development Council. Several years later, he bought back the shares of his company to return it to a private, 100% minority owned business. As such, Bob has a unique vision with dinCloud that he has now taken to VARs, Managed Service Providers (MSPs), Large Enterprises, and other organizations; from someone who has been in their shoes. Bob was awarded the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 1997 and was ranked number one in Success Magazine’s 100 Greatest American Entrepreneurs in 1998.
