Great interview,
He took the corporate route to the top. During these days finding capital was easy.
Al Green describes his family background in England and then migrating to the United States. He followed an unusual path to the computer software industry through a series of accounting positions. When recruited by Autodesk, he was brought into a Finance role which morphed over time to have a variety of other adminstrative and mangement tasks since the Autodesk founders were principally technical period who wanted to program, not run a business. This led to his becoming the CEO for a number of years, during which time the company grew exponentially. When John Walker felt that he was unhappy with some of the directions that Autodesk was going, Al agreed to resign, but continued on the Board for a few years. He then went on to become an investor in other software companies and was able to retire and enjoy travel and living in various places in the United States.
