Barry Shevlin - Bio |

|
Barry Shevlin is a serial entrepreneur and accomplished software developer. Through the course of his career, he successfully founded and grew five companies in technology sectors that included CATV contracting, telecommunications, software, and networking sales. As chief executive officer (CEO) of Network Liquidators, Barry has driven the company’s annual revenue to more than $40 million in less than six years.
His vision and talent for capitalizing on emerging business trends was the impetus behind the launch of Network Liquidators. In 2002, he began developing a technology-based solution that has enabled Network Liquidators to become one of the fastest growing and most efficient companies in their industry. Today, the company leverages this technology as the backbone of its sales and marketing operations, supporting more than 8,000 customers worldwide.
Prior to Network Liquidators, Barry honed his technical skills as independent software developer building process-automation applications for the B2B market. Barry’s accomplishments on this front included an eBay auction management platform that integrated an online storefront (now operating as www.zoovy.com); a multiple listing service for Boat Brokers, an offsite data storage platform and a secure online payment processing platform currently being used by hundreds of thousands of users.
As BusinessMall.com/Progressive Telecommunications CEO (NASDAQ: BSML), a company he founded in 1996, Barry again paired his software development skills and business acumen as a reseller of local and long-distance phone, communications management and electronic-commerce services. Under his leadership, the company introduced OPUS Assistant (now operating as Webley), a unified messaging and virtual assistant incorporating voice activation, speech/text recognition as well as telephone and Internet access. At the time of Barry’s departure, the company’s revenue peaked at roughly $1 million per month.
Barry’s entrepreneurial spirit began in the cable and satellite television industry. As president and founder of Custom Connections/BSR Industries, he aggressively developed relationships with key industry players including Time Warner’s Primestar division and Echostar, parent company to Dish Network. In less than two years, his assertive business style and savvy negotiation skills helped propel the company to become Echostar’s second largest East Coast retailer/installer of Dish Network systems, and central Florida ’s third largest cable TV contractor. Barry later sold this company to one of his employees and the company continues to serve the market place.
