It was a great pleasure to welcome Ray Grainger to Accelerate OC. He is the co-founder and CEO of Mavenlink, a fast-growing software company in the services business management and collaboration space.
He’s also a graduate of highly distinguished school, Harvey Mudd College, where he’s been a trustee now for many years.
He was a Managing Partner at Accenture for nearly 20 years before starting Mavenlink, and that experience provided much of the idea kernels for starting the company.
Ray started Mavenlink in 2009, and over the last 10 years has had an amazing run in building Mavenlink, headquartered here in Orange County. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Ray nearly the entire time he’s been on this journey and have been so impressed with his leadership and energy, and his support of the OC tech community along the way.
Ray has built an amazing team and company, and is doing his part to Accelerate OC!
Great quote he shared from Ernest Shackleton: "By endurance we conquer." Such a powerful message!
