Brian McAndrews
Former CEO, aQuantive
I found Fred Harman and Oak to be significant contributors both as advisors and Board members at aQuantive, while at the same time empowering management to make the decisions that were appropriately ours to make. This can be a delicate balancing act, particularly in the early stages of a company’s development when strategic questions can loom large and the management and board may still be building trust. Fred understands this dynamic particularly well and as a result, added significant value in very constructive ways. He also stood by aQuantive during challenging times and helped us set the groundwork for what became a great success story.”
