• Shelby_Bryan abstract "John Shelby Bryan (born March 21, 1946) is an American telecommunications pioneer, futurist, international business executive, entrepreneur, and venture capitalist.A Texas-born millionaire, Shelby Bryan received his B.A. and Law Degree from the University of Texas. While at the University of Texas, Bryan played football for the Longhorns for one year, but a serious injury prevented him from continuing to play. He was also active in the UT Law School's moot court. After graduating the University of Texas Law School, Bryan was one of only two graduates hired to manage environmental projects for Ralph Nader.Bryan went on to study at Harvard Business School, where he played for the undefeated Harvard Rugby team in 1972. In 1973, Bryan's article, Conglomerate Mergers: Proposed Guidelines, was published in the Harvard Journal of Legislation. During summers while at Harvard, he worked on the family investment fund for William S. Paley, the founder of CBS. After graduating from Harvard near the top of his class, Bryan was one of only twelve hired from the business school to work at Morgan Stanley in their corporate finance department. Within his first year at the company, Bryan was made an Associate in Morgan Stanley's mergers and acquisitions group. He had key involvement in many significant deals, including the 1976 merger of GE and Utah International, the largest deal in the United States at the time.Byran left Morgan Stanley to partner with Swedish media owner Jan Stenbeck to form Millicom, one of the first modern cellular phone companies in the United States.As CEO of the newly founded Millicom, Bryan grew the company's market share exponentially. In 1985, Millicom had become the leader in cellular operations, providing more cell licenses to more people and countries than any other company to date. One of Millicom's early joint ventures start-ups was Vodafone, which became the world’s largest cell phone company. In September 2013, Vodafone sold its U.S. wireless business to Verizon Communications for $130 billion, making it history's third largest corporate deal.In 1994, Bryan was asked to step in to replace the CEO of ICG Communications, which was in the midst of financial failure. Brought in by ICG's Board of Directors as a change agent, Bryan turned the failing company around by immediately replacing the management team with more experienced, higher caliber professionals and implementing a new business plan. He successfully raised more than $2 billion in financing, and in just five years, increased ICG's revenue from less than $200 million to nearly $4 billion. That historical improvement in revenues enabled the company to grow from 125 to more than 3,500 employees. At the time, ICG was one of the first telecom companies aggressively deploying fiber in metropolitan areas.Bryan saw the warning signs of the looming dot-com bust: an overbuilt, unpredictable industry that was over-funded. When he shared his concerns with the company's stakeholders, his prediction was very unpopular. Bryan stepped down from his role at ICG in 2000 when the company, like most of those in the Internet business, began to face difficult times during the dot-com meltdown. Arguments can be made that ICG's difficulties were due in part to the marketplace uncertainty the company faced, as well as the competitive nature of the industry, which was populated by larger companies who were investing billions in infrastructure. Some have said that Bryan would not cower to the press, so when troubles hit ICG, they were more critical of him than they might otherwise have been. Before the dot-com bubble burst, ICG provided the pipelines for 15% of the world's Internet traffic.While CEO at ICG, Bryan also emerged as one of Bill Clinton's chief fund raisers and supporters. In 1994, he served as the National Finance Chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. In 1997, Bryan was named to President Clinton's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. He held that position for the remainder of Clinton's term and continued through the first nine months of George W. Bush's presidency.Following his departure from ICG, Bryan went on to form Pingtone Communications, one of the first VOIP (Voice over IP) companies in the United States. BusinessWeek currently lists Bryan as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Washington, DC based company.".
