Bob Parsons, CEO and Founder - GoDaddy |
|
Bob Parsons has an impressive track record of entrepreneurial and business success. He founded his first venture, Parsons Technology, in 1984 and sold it in 1996 to Mountain View, California-based Intuit, Inc.
In 1997, Bob founded The Go Daddy Group, carving out a unique niche for GoDaddy.com as an alternative to the early monopoly held by much larger companies in the Internet domain registration market. As a full service domain registrar, Go Daddy was founded on Bob's commitment to provide superior customer service, highly competitive pricing, innovative product offerings and a responsibility to do the right thing.
These ideals continue to drive the company's success today. Bob's vision and leadership have propelled The Go Daddy Group to be the #1 registrar of domain names in the world for the past three years. Today the company ranks #1 in total domains under management.
