Before joining TPG Capital in 2004, McGlashan was Chairman and CEO of Critical Path. He joined the email service company in April 2001, two months into an accounting scandal that caused Critical Path’s stock to drop 75 percent, prompted two dozen shareholder lawsuits, and resulted in criminal charges against four executives.
