During his tenure at Magnitude Electronics many billions of electronic components were bought and sold, then shipped to customers worldwide. The company’s focus was semiconductors, however a significant amount of sales included connectors, LED’s, relays, computer peripherals, and even finished goods.

Oracle Electronics & Trading Co., Inc.

The company launched a few years prior to a huge industry growth spurt, fueled in large part by the boom in the nascent personal computer industry and related products.
