ExecBreakfast with Lou Brown Jr. - MICROS Founder

Join us for an 'Ask Me Anything' ExecBreakfast with Lou Brown Jr., Founder of MICROS at Loyola Columbia in Columbia, MD on April 7, 2016. With $20,000 in savings Brown, then 26, started a company called IDEAS, Inc. to design computers for the government. He was acting as a consultant for MKD, an electronic cash-register company, when its vice-president, Bernie Silverman, suggested there was a future in making 'smart' cash registers, that is, point-of-sale terminals. Brown founded PICOS Manufacturing in 1977 to produce these machines for restaurants; the company was renamed Micros Systems the following year. The company grew to several billion dollars in revenue and was acquired by Oracle for several billion more. Want to meet and chat with the luminaries in the industry but never had the chance?
