invented. Schreiber founded Tradeum in October 1998, and in March 2000
sold the company to VerticalNet Inc. for $500 million, and renamed it
VerticalNet Solutions. It was chosen shortly afterwards as the platform
for the Converge consortium of high-tech companies (including HP, Compaq
& NEC) in a deal worth $115 million. Prior to Tradeum, Schreiber was the
Founding Partner of a successful consulting business advising high
technology firms and venture capital funds. This followed a number of
years implementing and selling OEM implementations of complex
communication protocols at Data Connection Limited and supporting
customers including IBM, HP & Alcatel. There, Schreiber founded a
business unit in safety critical software, servicing clients such as the
General Electrical Company and British Rail. Schreiber earned a Ph.D. in
Theoretical Computer Science and an M.Sc. with Distinction in
Theoretical Physics from Imperial College of Science, London and an M.A.
