N. Bruce Walton – Management Team, Advisory Board
For most of his career, Bruce has made his living as an entrepreneur. Starting with consulting businesses, he moved into growing software firms and ultimately into a position where he is seen as a startup, turnaround and problem solving specialist. Bruce has done everything from bootstrapping an idea to knockdown drag out boardroom drama.

As an athlete, Bruce used his swimming and waterpolo background as the perfect springboard into triathlon. He has competed in more than 100 triathlons & marathons and has made the sport very much part of his lifestyle. To enhance the experience and support his racing, Bruce and his sponsors, created a rider program that brought some of the best products in the sport to events and let anyone who was interested try the products for themselves. Sponsors for this include Cervelo, Nimble, Profile, Clif Bar, Cyclops and others.

Bruce's formal education includes a degree in Communications and Art. He also has a certificate in Engineering, a BA in Business and an MBA in Information Technology. He and his wife Suk-Ha Elaine have a sixteen year old daughter, EJ Bailey.
