RANDY WOODS

Co-founder, CEO & Vice President

Randy Woods is a twice-exited entrepreneur and senior M&A executive who has spent more than 30 years building, acquiring, and selling technology-enabled businesses across North America, Europe, and Latin America. He co-founded Nonlinear Creations in 1995 and led it for over two decades, scaling it into a multinational digital agency before running a competitive process that culminated in its strategic sale to Valtech

He then joined Valtech’s North American executive team, helping drive strategic growth and contributing to nine acquisitions as the company expanded significantly

Earlier, as co-founder and CEO of Buystream, he raised over $20M in venture capital and navigated the firm through the dot-com collapse, ultimately managing the sale of its intellectual property to Watchfire (later acquired by IBM).

Today, as Vice President at Corum Group, Randy draws on hard-won experience from every side of the table to help founders exit successfully – achieving strong valuations, thoughtful deal structures, and outcomes aligned with life beyond the transaction
