Luis Pereira
Founder & CEO
Luis Pereira is Ask Poodle's
founding CEO. He is currently responsible for Ask Poodle's
day-to-day operations.
Luis was born to the proverbial hard working
(Portuguese) immigrant parents in Newark, NJ. His experience with
technology started at the age of 10. His first computer, like so
many of his generation, was the beloved and irrepressible
Commodore 64. But he wasn’t just tinkering on his C-64 in his free
time. Luis is no stranger to Edison’s theory of 1% inspiration and
99% perspiration.
After graduating high school, Luis' interest in computers
and technology lead him to enroll at DeVry Technical Institute
where, in 1995, he graduated with a degree in Computer Information
Systems. Luis has worked as an IT Consultant for the past 10
years. His entrepreneurial streak has spawned a successful
troubleshooting consulting firm where he worked as Regional
Director of Computer Troubleshooters New Jersey, and most recently
as an owner/operator of a Dunkin Donuts franchise.
In 1998 Luis became very interested and intrigued by online
search and began working on a local business web portal. It was to
be called the Global Business Network Directory (GBND) or the
Global Business Web Directory (GBWD). Due to lack of funding and
uncertainty about the direction in which ecommerce and the
internet was heading, he was forced to put this project on hold.
An incubation period followed as Luis watched the internet
business model unfold.Today he has resumed his work on the
concept for a local business web directory with a renewed fervor.
