Fabbio expressed his gratitude for being honored alongside other influential inductees who have contributed to the growth of Austin as a technology hub. Reflecting on his journey, he stated, “It’s an honor to be recognized with the other inductees as someone who helped drive the business growth in Austin.” His career can be traced back to 1989 when he founded Tivoli Systems in Austin. At the time, the city was on the verge of becoming a focal point for technological innovation, with very few established entrepreneurial ventures. Notably, the employees of Tivoli Systems went on to create hundreds of new businesses that have shaped the Austin tech landscape.

The Hall of Fame was established to celebrate the past, acknowledge the present, and envision the future of Austin’s technology ecosystem. Thom Singer, the CEO of the Austin Technology Council, emphasized Fabbio’s significance in this legacy, noting, “Bob is one of this year’s legacy inductees and is a prime example of someone who has initiated successful companies, invested in entrepreneurial ventures, and mentored emerging leaders.”

Throughout his remarkable career spanning nearly four decades, Fabbio has been at the helm of nine companies and has been instrumental in launching seven of them. His entrepreneurial journey has seen him raise hundreds of millions in capital, sit on numerous boards, and advise countless entrepreneurs and executives. His influence has contributed to the creation of nearly $2 billion in shareholder value upon exit for various enterprises, including notable businesses such as Tivoli Systems, Dazel Corporation, Agere Systems, WhiteGlove Health, and Welltok, Inc. With fervor, he proclaims, “And I’m not done!”

Fabbio’s career has been marked by a dedication to challenging conventional norms. He has consistently pursued innovative ideas that disrupt existing paradigms within industries. Most recently, in early 2022, he launched Norrio Capital Partners, an investment firm that utilizes advanced technologies to achieve superior, non-correlated returns while shaking up the traditional hedge fund model. Norrio employs cutting-edge technologies for automating trading processes and drastically reducing typical operational costs found in traditional hedge funds. In 2024, their fund impressively generated 37.8% net returns for investors, showcasing their capabilities in navigating diverse market conditions.
