Anthony N. LaPine, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Anthony LaPine, an original founder of Semotus Solutions (formerly Datalink.net), manages the entire corporate vision and strategy of the Company. LaPine has a 30-year legacy as an icon of business and technology in the Silicon Valley, and continues to guide Semotus Solutions' progress, its development as well as its current and future business plans.

Mr. LaPine started at IBM, where he was part of an engineering team that developed the modern disk drive. Among his many accomplishments is a Data Synchronization Patent (3,701,039) that remains the state-of-the-art standard for disk drives in pervasive use today. In 1969, as one of the founders of Memorex Equipment Group, he was instrumental in giving birth to the floppy disk drive, a cornerstone of the PC revolution. He later played a major role in Memorex's historic turnaround, re-listing Memorex on the NYSE - the only company ever re-listed in the Exchange’s history. After leading the Company's first billion dollar revenue production year, he played a key role in the sale of Memorex to Unisys.

In 1981, Mr. LaPine became President of Irwin-Olivetti, where he orchestrated the invention of the first removable cartridge tape back-up for personal computers. In 1983, he formed LaPine Technology, raising $30 million and launching the 3.5-inch Winchester disk drive technology that has become a $50 billion industry. After selling that business, he formed The LaPine Group, a private investment and turnaround management firm. He subsequently served as CEO of Andor International, a company launched by the legendary Gene Amdahl. After reorganizing Andor, Mr. LaPine negotiated its sale to the Fortel Group, where he served as Chairman of the Board. In 1996, he launched Semotus Solutions.

Mr. LaPine is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers Board of Arbitrators, and a Public Arbitrator for the Pacific Stock Exchange. Since 1981, he has been a member of 20 corporate boards and has been responsible for raising hundreds of millions in investment capital. He has served as Chairman of the Hoover Institution's Council on Economic Development and as a strategic advisor to the Russian government on its transition to capitalism. In 1993, he received the San Jose State University "Alumni Award of Distinction" and is the recipient of the Santa Clara University 1994 "Distinguished Engineering Alumni Award”. He received a BSEE Cum Laude from California State University, an MSEE from Santa Clara University and an MBA from the University of San Francisco. Mr. LaPine later became an alumnus of the Stanford Graduate School of Business through the prestigious residential Graduate Executive Program.
