Lang was named one of the 50 most influential people in the history of financial risk management by Risk magazine, a major industry publication. He was the founder of Cutthroat Communications, Inc., a rural broadband and telecommunications company headquartered in Montana, now sold. Lang is an active angel investor or board member to innovative technology companies including ConnectAndSell, DFCN, Fluid, InSequent, Jaman, Music Prodigy, SnapLogic, and others.
