Management Team

Michael Dickey, CEO

As founder and CEO of BeatBox Technologies (formerly known as ClickCadence), Michael created the market-leading network appliance for monitoring enterprise web applications. BeatBox combined network packet-sniffing with TCP reassembly, SSL decryption, real-time sessionizing, and rules-based data processing to provide website administrators with more detailed pictures of visitor interactions. Michael sold BeatBox to Mercury Interactive in 2005, which was acquired by Hewlett-Packard (HP Software) in 2006. BeatBox is now part of HP's Real User Monitor (RUM) product.

Prior to BeatBox, Michael worked as CTO of Innovative Resource Group (IRG), a subsidiary of iGate Corporation that acquired his first technology company, Terminus System Designs (TSD). In the mid 1990's, TSD developed Entropy, an object-relational database for the web that made it easy to build databases and integrate them with websites using a simple, tag-based markup language. Mike studied Physics, Computer Science, and Business at Carnegie Mellon University.

Len Emmick, Executive Vice President of Sales & Business Development

With more than 20 years of executive leadership and sales experience, Len has a proven track record of success in building teams that have delivered hundreds of millions of dollars in business value. At Atomic Labs Len oversees global sales and partnerships, driving continued revenue and customer growth for Pion.

Prior to joining Atomic Labs, Mr. Emmick served as Chief Sales Officer at web analytics company iPerceptions. Under his guidance, the sales organization posted significant year-over-year revenue growth while expanding throughout North America and Europe.

Prior to iPerceptions, Mr. Emmick previously served as senior vice president of sales for mobile marketing and application platform provider Air2Web, where he was responsible for sales and sales operations personnel. While at Air2Web, he negotiated and coordinated domestic and multinational deals, successfully launched new products in new markets and delivered exponential growth during his tenure. Mr. Emmick has also held key sales and sales management roles at Infinium Software and Honeywell where he led and was recognized as a top performer every year during his employment. He holds a Bachelor degree in mathematics from the University of South Florida.

Thomas Palmieri, Vice President of Services

Thomas brings over 15 years of experience in building and operating various types of IT and product-support service offerings to Atomic Labs. One of these prior offerings, Quadrix Solutions, was a profitable, successful and highly praised managed-services provider that was acquired by SaaS-leader OpSource in 2003. Shortly after that, Thomas joined Michael at BeatBox Technologies (formerly known as ClickCadence) to help build its technical and professional support offerings.

Thomas remained with Mercury Interactive when it acquired BeatBox in 2005 and helped Mercury vastly improve its ability to deliver top-notch professional services in support of their Real User Monitor (RUM) product. Thomas spun this out into a new HP/Mercury professional services practice, which has established itself as one of the most experienced implementers of many of the products that HP Software acquired from Mercury in 2007.

Prior to founding Quadrix Solutions, Thomas was Vice President, Network Technologies at ISE Telecommunications, Inc. and Vice President/Chief Technologist at Automation Intelligence Corp. Thomas was previously a Member of Technical Staff, Architecture at Bell Atlantic (now Verizon). He studied Physics and Computer Science at Rutgers University.
