Brian Christopher Poe (born November 20, 1969) is an American businessman. He is the founder and former CEO for Corrisoft, LLC and Deleo Holdings, and founder of the indie record label Kyra Fox Records. Early life Poe was born in Maysville, Kentucky and raised in Lexington, Kentucky. Poe graduated from Lafayette High School and enlisted in the United States Navy and served during the first Gulf War. After four years of service he was medically processed out of the military with an honorable discharge due to active duty injuries. Following this he attended Transylvania University. Career Poe was in construction while he attended college. Later Poe realized that more than 81 million Americans have a criminal record, and even once they are reformed, are unable to find work because very few employers will hire ex-offenders. He researched the topic of pardons and expungements and collated the many variations in law in individual states and counties, which led him to post online The Guide to Expungements and Pardons. Afterwards Poe started EAS Technologies, a division of Deleo Worldwide, and the website clearmyrecord.com. Poe hired attorneys and software developers to automate the process for each and every county in the United States. In November 2008, EAS Technologies re-launched ClearMYRecord.com with a new automated form filling service. This allows the customer to qualify themselves, determine the form of relief for which they are eligible and then fill out and print the forms from their computer. It was built utilizing the CakePHP framework and EAS Technologies employee Jim Lerza was invited to speak on it at CakeFest, a 3-day event about the framework software. The company eventually collapsed and Poe started Hard2Hire, a free service for job seekers, helping ex-offenders to overcome their employment barriers and have an equal chance at obtaining gainful employment. Poe moved on to founding Corrisoft, a company that develops software for monitoring and assisting parolees. Poe left the company in January 2014. In the media On December 10, 2008, Poe appeared on Fox Business Network discussing the pardoning of white collar criminals. In particular he discussed the differences between a pardon and commutation, along with the cases of Conrad Black, Bernard Ebbers, and Michael Milken.
