> Eric Yuan was the founding engineer of WebEx

The article and wikipedia don't say he was a founder of Webex; just a early and lead engineer.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that he was a founder with founder-level equity.

I see "founder" and "founding engineer" as distinct from each other.

"Founding engineer" in my mind just means key early engineer who played a part in building v0 of the product.
