Kevin began his career at SGI recruiting developers for the IRIX platform. In 1994 he decided to pursue the burgeoning consumer Email space as the 7th employee at Software.com where he helped Portals (Excite), ISPs (AT&T), and OEMs (Netscape) deliver open messaging services to its customers. In 2000 Software.com merged with Phone.com to create Openwave and introduce the world to the mobile Web. At Openwave, Kevin worked with carriers, device manufacturers, and content providers to develop an ecosystem upon which today’s global wireless data business was built. In 2003 Kevin joined another mobile pioneer, Qpass, in sales and corporate strategy roles focused on developing the ecosystem for premium content and applications. Most recently, Kevin served as VP, Sales and Business Development at Buzzwire, a service for tracking what’s hot on the mobile Web.
