Experience:
Decades

## Professional background

Dana Topping was part of the leadership behind Intelisys, a major U.S. technology services distributor acquired by ScanSource in an $270 million cash deal with additional earn-out potential. Public Intelisys materials also tie him to commercial and enablement systems such as MyIntelisys and Cloud Services University, giving Orbitrum access to operator judgment shaped by real channel scale, recurring revenue mechanics, and strategic growth execution.

### Operating Perspective

His background is not abstract investor commentary. It comes from helping build a partner-led commercial machine where enablement, supplier trust, and disciplined revenue expansion had to work in practice.

That matters for Orbitrum because it adds commercial pattern recognition around how serious businesses grow, how distribution compounds, and what larger strategic buyers actually value.

### What He Adds

Chairman-level perspective on market positioning, partner leverage, and execution discipline.

A stronger line into enterprise channel logic, strategic introductions, and scale-aware decision making.
