FULL BIO

I am the owner and CEO of Enorasi Consulting, a technology and strategy insourcing entity providing high quality specialized services to high-profile Silicon Valley customers since 2004. In parallel to running Enorasi Consulting, I am also the Vice President of Products at IntelliOne Technologies an East Bay start-up focusing on carrier business intelligence products. In my copious spare time, I am a mentor for the entrepreneurship class at the Haas school of business, at Berkeley and a professor for the database marketing class at the UCSC extension.

In 2002, right after the dot com crisis, I founded Dash Navigation in an effort to revolutionize the way that traditional personal navigation systems work. Funded by Sequoia, KPCB and other top-tier venture capital firms, Dash Navigation introduced the first two-way connected navigation device, changing the landscape of a multi-billion market. Dash Navigation was acquired by RIM in 2009. Before Dash Navigation, I was the Chief Scientist at Ambicom Inc. another Silicon Valley start-up that specialized on accessories for the mobile professional. Prior to Ambicom Inc. I was a software engineer at SRI International.
