John R. Egan | Managing Partner

“We have been lucky to have Jack Egan as the lead director of the NetScout Board for almost 5 years. In my 25 years of experience in the high tech industry, I have yet to come across anyone who can match the practical and in-depth experience of Jack in almost all areas of a company’s operation. He has been a great mentor for the entire management team on matters ranging from sales operation and strategic planning to financial controls, corporate governance, HR and compliance."

John Egan co-founded Egan-Managed Capital during a sabbatical from EMC Corporation. Prior to his sabbatical he was Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing for several years where he directed the development of EMC’s sales force and market positioning. During his tenure, the sales organization missed only one out of 54 quarterly sales quotas while growing the business from $3 million to nearly $3 billion in annual sales. He returned to EMC at the request of the Company’s Board in early 1998 to assume a 10-month role as Executive Vice President of Products where he managed marketing, manufacturing and product development through a transition to a new organizational structure. Having achieved the Board’s objectives, he retired from active employment at EMC at the end of 1998. He holds degrees in marketing and computer science from Boston College.
