Bitvore Appoints Bill Ruehle Chief Financial Officer

Written by Steve Henning, CMO Bitvore | Apr 23, 2019

We are pleased to announce former Broadcom and SynOptics Communications executive Bill Ruehle has joined the Bitvore team as Chief Financial Officer. 

Ruehle has led two very successful IPOs as a CFO in the tech sector, having joined both companies when they were small private entities.  He became CFO of Silicon Valley-based SynOptics Communications as employee #30 in a company with a $2 million annual revenue run rate.  He led the very successful IPO and merger with Wellfleet that created Bay Networks.  When he left Bay, it had grown to $2 billion in revenue, a multi-billion-dollar market cap and a listing on the NYSE. 

Following that, he joined Orange County-based Broadcom Corporation who, at the time, had 150 employees and a $20 million annual revenue rate.  He led the wildly successful IPO and helped guide the company through an exponential growth rate that allowed it to reach $1 billion in revenue in just two years following the IPO.  When he left Broadcom, the company was the leader in broadband communications semiconductors with revenues of $3.6 billion, a market cap in excess of $20 billion and listing on Nasdaq.  Ruehle holds a BA in Economics from Allegheny College and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
