About Dion Lim
Source: Simply Hired

Dion keeps things humming here at Simply Hired with a mix of entrepreneurial passion and operational excellence. An experienced tech exec, his resume reads like a short history of the Internet itself: co-founder of Epinions.com (now Shopping.com), COO at Chinese portal Sina.com, Director of Biz Dev at Quote.com (now Lycos), co-founder of the "dot-com Petri dish" Round Zero, marketing exec at Schwab (ok, we're pretty sure he's making up some of this stuff) and way back when: excel jockey at Morgan Stanley and due diligence grunt at H&Q. In fact, the only startup we know he didn't have a hand in is Initech... although he does have a certain penchant for red Swingline staplers.
