Realware is lead by a team of veteran executives with deep experience in a broad array of disciplines including managed services, information technology, telecommunications, and Internet businesses.
Mr. Ali Davachi
Chief Executive Officer
Mr. Davachi has many years of hands-on experience with all facets of complex IT project implementation. As a result, he became aware that enterprise quality IT service was not available to smaller companies at affordable prices. He wanted to “Bridge the Gap”, so he founded Realware in 1999 and made its mission: “To deliver enterprise quality IT solutions to small and mid-sized businesses”.
Mr. Davachi's ability to view a particular "problem" from multiple technical (software, hardware and networking) and business (impact on operations, productivity) viewpoints allows him to see potential problems in the initial phases of a project, to create innovative solutions, and avoid costly delays. Mr. Davachi's depth of experience makes him uniquely qualified to implement his vision for Realware, especially given today's ever-changing business environment.
Mr. Davachi held the title of Director of Information Technology at M.R. Weiser & Co. LLP, where his responsibilities included providing Information Technology services designed to assist the company in achieving its strategic goals. During his tenure, Mr. Davachi oversaw the complete re-engineering of the company’s IT infrastructure and the implementation of an advanced network environment, resulting in increased performance, and reliability. During this time Mr. Davachi also developed ProfitPoint, a commercially marketed product, for the Textile Rental Services Association, managing all phases of the product’s development.
Prior to M.R. Weiser & Co, Mr. Davachi founded Magic Carpet Inc., a regional Internet Service Provider focusing on fully managed corporate Internet access. He held the position of President & Chief Technical Officer.
Mr. Bret Pirquet
SVP Business Development
Mr. Pirquet has 20 years of experience in the field of interactive, on-line services and technology. He is an entrepreneur, who has founded, developed and sold three companies. In the early part of his career, he pioneered the development and implementation of high capacity interactive voice response (IVR) services for major media and consumer products companies. Beginning in the mid 1990s, he switched his focus to the Internet and, initially, he was involved with B2C ventures. He was a co-founder and COO of an Internet retailer of fine fragrances, which he sold to Ashford.com. Following the sale, he joined Ashford.com as VP, Operations and played a lead role in the development and implementation of a best in class service solution for this leading luxury goods Internet retailer. Subsequently, Mr. Pirquet was VP & Interactive Services Lead for Givaudan, a multinational flavors and fragrance manufacturer with sales in excess of $2 billion. In this role, he directed the development and implementation of Givaudan's B2B e-commerce strategy, and a new, international strategic business unit focused on small to mid-sized consumer goods companies.
