Background

About Barry Jinks

I have participated on the founding engineering and management teams and boards of public and private technology companies, crown corporations, universities and non-profits. I founded SaaS collaboration and compliance software vendor, Colligo Networks, in and retired as CEO prior to the company’s sale in 2019. Before Colligo, I led Spectrum Signal Processing to a dominant market position, guiding it from a startup to a NASDAQ-listed company with 200 employees and $40 million in sales. I spent the early years in my career as a semiconductor design engineer, then design center manager and eventually director of marketing at LSI Logic Corporation of Canada during its startup phase. Through all of that I have really enjoyed building great teams and working on technology with stellar people like my fellow investors, colleagues, researchers, board members, partners and, of course, customers. My colleagues have helped our companies to win many awards and I was personally fortunate to be honored as Ernst & Young’s Pacific Region Entrepreneur of the Year. I have been, and am currently on, volunteer and industry boards.
