About Me and the Blog

About Me

As President of Keynote DeviceAnywhere, I strive to create solutions to help companies take advantage of the influx in demand for smart devices and the content and applications that run on them. With over 2,000 customers worldwide, I work with all types of customers – ranging from independent developers to mobile operators to Fortune 500 companies – to help them bring their products and services to market faster and more cost-effectively than ever before.

I am extremely passionate about the industry and I enjoy getting out there and debating the issues. You may have seen me speak at events like CTIA, Mobile World Congress, MeM, CeBIT Wireless and Mobile Monday. You can also see me in action on TelecomTV, BnetTV and on the MOTODEV channel.

About the Blog

The focus of this blog is to discuss the challenges and opportunities faced by enterprises and mobile developers, from the creation of new applications, to testing and quality assurance, to getting them into app stores and generating sales. Topics discussed within this blog will range from timely news that I think are of particular note to opinions on industry trends. I also invite my team and customers to provide guest posts to offer different industry perspectives and to generate dialogue and debate. If you’d like a one-on-one conversation about specific industry topics, feel free to contact me here.

I may occasionally write about Keynote DeviceAnywhere from an industry perspective but for product updates and information about services please check out the Keynote DeviceAnywhere Test Center Blog.

About Keynote DeviceAnywhere

Recognizing a need in the fast growing mobile industry to provide the first truly affordable smart device testing service led me to found Keynote DeviceAnywhere in April 2003. The inspiration for Keynote DeviceAnywhere came from my experience at Brience, a mobile WAP applications company.  I’ve now evolved Keynote DeviceAnywhere from being a technology provider for testing to its role today as a comprehensive mobile development environment. Keynote DeviceAnywhere has over 2,000 customers around the world, including 3UK, Sony Ericsson and I-play and is the most widely used mobile testing solution available. This solution also remains unique in the sense that enterprises and application developers get remote access to real devices over live networks.

Keynote DeviceAnywhere is regularly recognized as one of the most innovative companies in the world, both as a business and creator of technology. Most recently, Keynote DeviceAnywhere was named one of the fastest growing technology companies in the U.S. in addition to being recognized as San Francisco Business Times’ “100 Fastest Growing Private Companies in the Bay Area,” Silicon Valley / San Jose Business Journals’ “Top 60 Fastest Growing Companies in Silicon Valley,” and Software Magazines’ “Software 500.” Other accolades include being named one of the “Hottest Silicon Valley Companies” by Lead411, DemoAnywhere winning the Mobile Merit Award for the “Mobile Technologies: Billing and Customer Care” category and ranking #16 in the San Jose Business Journal’s “70 Fastest Growing Private Companies in Silicon Valley for 2009”.

Keynote DeviceAnywhere provides convenient and cost-effective end-to-end solutions for mobile content development, testing, monitoring, certification, test automation and deployment – enabling application developers to bring better content to market faster than ever before.
