PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

2006-2009 Chief Executive Officer
Skyward Mobile, Inc., Wakefield, Ma
Skyward Mobile developed a suite of mobile entertainment, media, and productivity applications based upon its proprietary APX technology. Skyward applications seamlessly incorporated audio, video, text, and data with intuitive user interactivity, and raised the bar of the mobile experience. For the first time, mobile experiences were defined by the imagination rather than the limitations of the device. The APX platform changed the development and economics of application development, by enabling the rapid development of rich, deep, elegant applications across all mobile devices.
2001-2006 Chief Technology Officer
MobiTV, Inc., North Andover, Ma and Emeryville, CA
Responsible for the technical direction of the company, including inventing of the core technology which enables the delivery of live television to 2.5G and 3G mobile devices. MobiTV was the first global television and digital radio service provider for the more than 2 billion mobile phone users worldwide and is available in the US, the United Kingdom, and throughout South America and Canada. The Emmy Award winning service now reaches more than half a million subscribers. Led Advanced Projects Group which developed first commercial versions of MobiTV products including MobiTV and MobiRadio. During tenure at MobiTV, created more more than 40 innovations which have been patented or are patent pending.

Assemble Media, Inc., Cambridge, MA
Led team from MIT in the design and development of personalized streaming media platform for the creation, management and delivery of personal streaming media -- a platform where a stream of relevant content is dynamically assembled from multiple sources for each individual user. The scheduling algorithms within the Assemble Media platform constantly adjust all aspects of the content stream to tailor the information and entertainment to meet individual user requirements. The Assemble Media radio platform generates customized radio stations which contain all the elements of traditional radio, but personalized for teach end user. News, traffic, sports, stocks, weather and music selection are all customized on a per-user basis. Acquired by ClickRadio in 2002.
