Mike Granby |

Mike Granby is currently President of Red
Lion Controls and N-Tron.
He was born in the United Kingdom, and started his career as a freelance developer of computer games
for the BBC
Micro back in 1984 at the age of 16. His only claim to fame
in this field is the publication of a rather fun little game
called
Acid Drops, the name of which was changed from Acid Bath by
the publishers lest their shareholders think that they were
dealing in horror titles! From the games world, he moved into
industrial software development via a path that is too complex
to explain. He worked on some of the very first Human-Machine
Interface products as far back as 1986, and can thus honestly
claim to be one of the few people in the world with 25 years'
experience in this field.
Mike's path took him through a series of start-ups in the late
eighties and early nineties, to the founding of a company called
Paradigm Controls in 1993, where he was responsible for the
development of the software and firmware for a range of operator
interface terminals. Paradigm caught the eye of Red Lion, and
was acquired by Red Lion's
parent company as a bolt-on in 1996. Mike continued to run
the company in the UK until moving to the United States in July
1999 to join Red Lion in Pennsylvania as Vice President of
Engineering. Five months later, Mike was promoted to President
at the age of 31.
In addition to his executive duties, Mike is also Red Lion's
Chief Software Architect, in which capacity he designed the
majority of the company's
Crimson
3.0 programming and runtime environment. He has no
formal qualifications beyond High School and is self-taught in
software and electronic engineering. He is one of the few
non-graduates to have attended the
Advanced Management Program at
INSEAD near Paris. He lives
in York, Pennsylvania with his American-born wife, Amy, and his
two sons, Adam and Ben.
