Mike Long (American businessman)
Mike Long is an American business man, former CEO of several public companies, and currently a founding partner of Sulgrave Partners LLC.〔"Sulgrave Partners - Team", http://www.sulgravepartners.com/team, Accessed 26 April 2009.〕 He served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Continuum, an Austin, Texas IT consulting company, from 1991 to 1997, having started with Continuum as a Director in 1983.〔http://investing.businessweek.com/businessweek/research/stocks/people/person.asp?personId=230645&ric=MOVE.O&previousCapId=29538&previousTitle=Move%2C%20Inc.〕 In 1997, Long was named CEO of Healtheon Corporation (now WebMD), succeeding former CEO David Schnell.〔http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/WebMD-Corporation-Company-History.html〕 Long oversaw Healtheon's initial public offering, traveling between Europe and the United States to woo investors. Long was able to secure the required investment funds, and saw Healtheon's stock price rise from $8 to a high of $120.〔Lewis, Michael. The New New Thing A Silicon Valley Story. Boston: W. W. Norton & Company, 1999.〕 In 2002, Long was recruited to fix the financial struggles of Move, Inc., a company plagued by more than $4 billion in lawsuits and hemorrhaging tens of millions of dollars a quarter. As Chief Executive Officer, Long was able to revive Homestore, Inc., by changing the business model, rebranding the company as Move, Inc. and returning it to profitability.〔 Touching on his experience of bringing about the initial public offerings of web-based businesses, Long would say that investors needed to be presented "with an entirely new face every few months,"〔 and that "the only way to run one of these Silicon Valley companies was to forget everything you'd learned outside of Silicon Valley."〔
==Continuum (1983-1997)==
Long first gained executive experience at Continuum, a "producer of packaged back-office software for insurance companies."〔"How the Directors Brought a Dot-Com Back From the Brink," ''Corporate Board Member Magazine'', January/February 2007.〕 He first served as a director, then moved on to become CEO. In order to gain a foothold in the American insurance market, Long focused Continuum on foreign markets. According to Long, "We had to become a global company to become an American one."〔 With Continuum finding success overseas as well as in the United States, it was valued at $1.7 billion and sold to Computer Sciences Corp. Long would stay with the newly combined company for one year.〔
