Andrew Frame is the founder and chief executive officer of ooma, which was formed from his desire to combine his technical expertise with his passion for innovative and fun consumer products.
When he was 15, Frame founded his first technology company, an ISP in Las Vegas. He then joined Cisco as a full-time employee, and at 17 became the youngest person ever to earn Cisco’s top technical honor: a CCIE certification. He also earned the honor a second time that same year, making him one of just eight people at the time to do so. At age 19, he moved to Cisco’s Global Center of Expertise to focus on critical networking issues for large service providers in the Pacific Rim and Latin America.
After several years at Cisco, Andrew joined start-up core router company Procket Networks as an engineer. He remained there until 2004, when he decided to return to his entrepreneurial roots as the founder of ooma.
In March 2007, Andrew was named one of the top entrepreneurs under the age of 30 most likely to shape the world’s digital future by the editors of Businessweek in a story titled, “Tech’s Best Young Entrepreneurs, Tech’s Next Gen: The Best and Brightest.”
