From Silicon Valley to a love affair with NZ
Craig’s career in the Silicon Valley began in 1985 after he was named the top salesman for Apple Computer just out of college. Instead of a bonus, Craig won a brand new Porsche from Steve Jobs and was later offered a job at Apple headquarters.
Following his tenure at Apple, Craig joined the founders of Packeteer, an innovative networking startup, to become employee number three and the company’s first CEO. Craig led Packeteer through an IPO with a two billion dollar valuation in 1999. Next, he founded Pertino, another networking company, where he also served as CEO.
Since his honeymoon in NZ in 1995, Craig has loved New Zealand and working with New Zealand companies. He built a programme for Computer Science students from New Zealand to participate in internships at high tech companies in Silicon Valley and founded the Kiwi Landing zone in San Francisco. He has also been a board member for New Zealand companies, Xero, Magic Memories, Enable Networks and ezyVet.

Celebrating Thanksgiving Kiwi Style
Ron hails from New Jersey and ran his own plumbing, heating, and air conditioning business. He later joined the family business Alacer Corp who created “Emergen-C”. This is one of the world’s largest and most recognised brands of vitamins. With Ron putting his shoulder to the wheel at Alacer the company experienced significant growth until the family sold out in 2012.
Ron then looked for his next adventure and through a Kiwi connection landed in New Zealand with his family. Ron successfully passed through the Investor migrant programme and today is a NZ citizen (officially a "Kiwi"). Ron keeps himself busy with commercial/residential property investments and developments.
When Ron is not out enjoying the waters of the Hauraki Gulf you will find him looking for his next investment project. As Ron says “I cannot express the gratitude I have from the friendships and close friends I have developed in the past eight years. I have more people in my life today than I ever had. I can’t wait for another Thanksgiving”.
