==Biography== ===Early years and education=== Edward "Ed" E. Iacobucci was born September 26, 1953, in [[Buenos Aires]], [[Argentina]] to Dr. Guillermo and Costantina Iacobucci. His father, a biochemist, moved his family to the U.S. in 1960 to work first for [[E. R. Squibb|E.R. Squibb & Sons]] (a predecessor to pharmaceutical giant [[Bristol-Myers Squibb]]), and then [[Coca-Cola]]. [[Roberto Goizueta]], then Chairman of Coca-Cola, became a close friend of the Iacobucci family and, subsequently, Ed's godfather. Iacobucci graduated from [[Georgia Tech]] with a BSc in systems engineering in 1975.<ref name="Georgia Tech obituary of Ed Iacobucci">{{cite web|title=In Memoriam - Edward Ernesto Iacobucci BS IE '75|url=https://coe.gatech.edu/news/memoriam-edward-ernesto-iacobucci-bs-ie-75|website=coe.gatech.edu|publisher=Georgia Tech|access-date=1 July 2017|archive-date=11 October 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151011115155/http://www.coe.gatech.edu/news/memoriam-edward-ernesto-iacobucci-bs-ie-75|url-status=dead}}</ref> ===Career=== Iacobucci began his career at [[IBM]] in 1979 where he worked on the commercial software and personal computer business. While at IBM, Iacobucci held architecture and design leadership responsibilities for [[IBM DOS]] and [[OS/2]], and led the joint IBM-Microsoft design for multi-tasking personal computer operating systems. In 1989, Iacobucci left IBM to co-found [[Citrix Systems]]. He led the company as chairman and chief technology officer through its market and product development phases. Citrix grew and was named to both the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 indexes.{{citation needed|date=November 2013}} In 1997, Iacobucci forged a five-year joint development agreement with [[Microsoft]] to include Citrix's multi-user capabilities within [[Microsoft Windows NT Server]]. He served as chairman of Citrix through 2000, when he retired. In 2002, Iacobucci co-founded and served as president and CEO of [[DayJet Corporation]], an on-demand airline service that sold individual seats via a time sensitive pricing scale and utilized the [[Eclipse 500]] [[very light jet]]. Dayjet built a computer system for solving highly complex optimization problems, and announced a five-year strategic agreement with the [[U.S. Federal Aviation Administration]] (FAA). After starting operations in 2007, DayJet ceased operations in 2008 when it was no longer able to secure its planned [[growth capital]]. Between 2002 and 2007 he was a member of the [[SCO Group]]'s board of directors.<ref>{{cite web | title = SCO Board Member Iacobucci Announces He is Leaving | publisher = Groklaw | url = http://www.groklaw.net/articlebasic.php?story=20070227230805290 | access-date = 2007-07-10 | archive-date = 2007-06-09 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070609230227/http://www.groklaw.net/articlebasic.php?story=20070227230805290 | url-status = dead }}</ref><!-- <ref> {{cite web | title = Edward Iacobucci Profile | website = Forbes.com | url = http://www.forbes.com/finance/mktguideapps/personinfo/FromMktGuideIdPersonTearsheet.jhtml?passedMktGuideId=136350 | accessdate = 2007-06-28 }}</ref> --> In 2011, Iacobucci founded VirtualWorks (later renamed to Ayfie),<ref name="VirtualWorks">{{cite web|last1=Smith|first1=Gina|title=Citrix Founder Announces New Venture, Data Management Platform|url=http://www.informationweek.com/applications/citrix-founder-announces-new-venture-data-management-platform/d/d-id/1098046|website=InformationWeek|date=June 2011|publisher=United Business Media|access-date=1 July 2017}}</ref> an [[enterprise search]] engine company.<ref>{{cite web|last=Strom|first=David|title=New Virtual Index Architecture Helps You Find Your Cloud-based Data|url=http://readwrite.com/2011/06/31/new-virtual-index-architecture|work=ReadWrote|date=June 2011 |access-date=24 December 2012}}</ref> for which Iacobucci served as president and CEO until May 20, 2013, when he stepped down for personal health reasons.
