About
I am Chairman of Rackspace Hosting Inc. (NYSE: RAX).
Back in 1998, I provided seed capital to start Rackspace. The three founders (Richard Yoo, Dirk Elmendorf and Pat Condon) had an idea to make it much easier to host complex webistes. That idea evolved into what is known today as managed hosting.
Six months after investing in Rackspace, I put my real estate business on hold (www.westoncentre.com) to act as CEO until 2006. While CEO, Rackspace grew from 12 to 1200 Rackers (employees) and from $1m to $200m in annualized revenue. Lanham Napier (presidend since 2000) became CEO in 2006.

Please bear with me. My name is Ray Botella age 56, have lived in San Antonio since 1955. I can remember when Windsor Park Mall was a cow pasture/ranch. But it had a shitty dirt road cutting throught it that we used to come home from Roosevelt. I have worked in construction and trades since 1972., running crews since age 19. Being 56 and working like I am 30 doesn’t work anymore, although the work ethic remains. I need a steady job,emptying trash is not below me. I live right across I35 from windsor. married 37 years and raisng our grandson. Could i get an interview? -have tried online but all that is is listed are things ray knows nothing about; computer idiot : that is me. I want to learn, and realize i must start from the bottom.
