As an active participant in the information technology industry since the days of the first transistorized computers, Nathan has worked for and with suppliers of mainframes, minicomputers, personal computers and semiconductors. Some associates recall observations that date from Nathan's "Insight 12" activities as a PDP-8 systems programmer. His responsibilities have included both hardware and software development, and both product and strategic marketing. He introduced a broad array of hardware, software, communications and chip-level products. He has analyzed and commented on the industry from perches at both D.H. Brown Associates and Dataquest. In 1998 Nathan founded Insight 64, where he works with clients who value his unique blend of marketing and technology skills. Although best known for his knowledge of the semiconductor market, he also works in closely allied system markets where improved semiconductor technology plays a key role. He assists established suppliers and embryonic start-up ventures in the areas of strategic planning, business planning, product definition, product positioning, marketing communications and analyst relations. Earlier in his career, Nathan directed processor research at Gartner Dataquest, where he focused on microprocessors used in computational applications. His views of the microprocessor market often find their way into articles in mainstream media, business media and the trade press. Prior to his work at Dataquest, Nathan honed his 32-bit insight as Director of Marketing for Micronics, a PC component supplier, and at the Intergraph Advanced Processor Division that developed the Clipper RISC microprocessor. Before Intergraph, he developed his 12-, 16-, and early 32-bit insights during 18 years in the computer systems industry, working for Univac (now part of Unisys), Digital Equipment Corp.
