For our 20th episode, Studying Success is honored to be joined by someone as accomplished and successful as Reed Taussig. Taussig, in his epic career, has raised a total of $155 million and has returned to his investors $1.6 billion – yes, that’s billion with a b. From June 1997 to July of 2008, Taussig served as Chairman, President, and CEO of Callidus Software, a sales compensation management software provider, which he led from its inception to IPO. Callidus was later acquired by SAP for $2.4 billion. After Callidus, Taussig went on to become the President and CEO of ThreatMetrix, an online fraud mitigation company, which processes over 3 billion transactions per month and has over 6 thousand customers. In 2018, ThreatMetrix was acquired by LexisNexis Risk Solutions for $830 million. Reed is currently the CEO at an identity authentication company called AuthenticID.
In this episode, Reed shares his wisdom on why it’s so important as a startup to stay focused on the principal service that it provides, what “bad” CEOs do, what he thinks has been the key to his success, and his thoughts on running a public vs. private company.
