A fresh start

I started this blog to offer my perspective on happenings on the mobile world. I have been fortunate to work in the mobile industry for the past 10+ years and in this while mobile phones and the software and applications they run have come a very long way. My first mobile related job was as a product manager for the mobile browser (WAP)... back in 2000, when phone.com was a .com darling of wall-street. No, I didn't make gobs of money :-).

For the past 4 years I've been a Group Product Manager at Adobe Systems, helping bring Flash Lite and Flash Player to mobile devices. We just launched Flash Player 10 on Android, and it is currently the among the top free apps on the Google Market. My experience at Adobe was terrific and I will miss the gang there, as I move on to my latest endeavor.

I will be joining Ecrio Inc. (their website isn't great - yet!) next Monday, August 2nd 2010, in the role of Sr. Director, Product Management, to lead their product efforts. I am very excited about the potential of rich communication services and the coming of 4G and LTE networks that will unleash this potential. I am very fortunate to be working on the bleeding edge of new technology and in my interactions with very smart people in the wireless world I grow and learn everyday. With this vantage point in the industry comes an ability (I hope) to offer perspective... this is what this blog is about.

Outside of work, I spend my time with my wife Ashwini, daughter Malaika and as much golf as I can manage.

thank you for reading and best of luck.
