responsible for the AboveBoard line of memory boards and later initiating
Intel's first fax and modem products.

in the world. The company also reported five consecutive years of more than
100 percent compound annual sales and profit growth. In addition, Saltzman
started a children's educational software company, called Active Arts, in
1995.
Saltzman is a former Inc. Magazine-Ernst & Young Software Entrepreneur of

finalist.
