Good-Bye Don Heestand
Don launched E-Merging Technologies 11 years ago. Prior to E-Merging Technologies, Heestand was Executive Vice President and Co-Founder of Realogic (one of Cleveland’s real technology success stories). He also held senior management posts with Central National Bank, Coopers & Lybrand, and Arthur Young and was for a time the Chief Information Officer at Forest City Enterprises.
As I mentioned before, I truly enjoyed my interaction with Don. He was a huge booster of Cleveland and the local technology scene. He was, indeed, a giant amongst men. Since leaving the City my interactions with Don had been minimal. An email here and an email there. I was not aware that he had taken ill. Cleveland has lost a once in a lifetime gentlemen. I will miss him.
