Distinguished Alumni
2009 Steve Perricone
Mr. Perricone has more than 20 years experience in the technology industry, with over half of that in start-up environments. He has held senior executive positions with several networking start-ups, including Network TeleSystems (acquired by Siemens) and Structured Internetworks and, in 1998, joined SonicWALL, a computer networking security company, when it had fewer than 20 employees. During his tenure at SonicWALL he was instrumental in the growth of the company to over 450 employees worldwide. In 2006, Mr. Perricone co-founded BioFuelBox, a clean tech company that may well be his most successful business venture and one of his greatest personal achievements.
