Co-Founder and Chairman
Pumpkin Networks

Systems. The Company went through Initial Public Offering in April
of 1995 with revenues in 1995 reaching $468 million and $598 million
in 1996. Mr. Lee has started AmBex Venture Group, LLC.
As founder and CEO of Diamond Computer Systems, Mr. Lee directed
Diamond to produce co-processor add-on boards for IBM PCs, which
made it possible to run Apple IIe programs on IBM machines. In the
early 1980s, most schools from elementary through 12th grade were
equipped with Apple IIe computers, which had over 20 thousand software
programs available. Diamond was the only Apple software in the world
that was a compatible add-on board to IBM PC's produced in the USA.
Thus, IBM appointed Diamond as a business partner and Diamond began
supplying hardware to IBM. Simultaneously, Diamond produced high-end
graphic accelerators, Stealth and Viper, the leading brand names
in the market. Mr. Lee has led Diamond's emergence as the eighth
fastest growing private company in Silicon Valley (San Jose Business
Journal, 1993) and the 17th fastest growing private company in the
