Robinson was the CEO of two software companies based in Austin, TX.
The New York Post has more on his background:
Robinson, who was based in Austin, was founder and CEO of software companies Retention.com and RB2B, and previously worked at Lehman Brothers and Barclays Capital, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Helen was a ceramics artist who frequently shared videos of her works on her Instagram, as well as pictures of the couple's two sweet young children, Bella and Emma.
The couple's two friends and the children's nanny are yet to be publicly identified.
In light of the horrific way he and his family died, this very eerie post from Adam Robinson posted just a few months ago is going viral on social media:
You don't need to crash a plane to learn to fly ... and you don't need VC to build a business.
