Bob LaGarde

A few thoughts on Business, Politics and Adventure

Hi, I’m Bob LaGarde, founder of Ahhha Web and it’s affiliated companies.  I live in an area known as the Down East section of the Outer Banks region of Eastern North Carolina with my dog Charlie.

 

My business expertise includes software development, product management, e-commerce, digital payments, branding, team building, process engineering, business structure and financing. I have worked in both the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors domestically and internationally.

 

I have led or co-led four start-ups – including small and mid-market e-commerce technology, social network based not-for-profit fundraising, video social networking and wall decor digital catalog solutions. I am currently engaged in R&D work to facilitate the process for creating textured prints.

 

I helped to found two technology associations, the Lawrence, Kansas Technology Association, and the Information Technology Association of Kansas. I served as a board member for technology transfer with the University of Kansas Information Technology and Telecommunications Center and co-chaired the Information Technology Task Force for Kansas Senator Pat Roberts’ Science, Technology and the Future Committee. Recently I served as a judge for the Duke Startup Challenge.  

 

Prior to starting my technology career in 1996, I led a not-for-profit animal welfare organization. I have a BA degree from Furman University where I studied philosophy and political science.
