CEO at Pointr - WE'RE HIRING

Boston, Massachusetts, United States

About

By background, I am a computer scientist with research experience from institutions such as MIT, Imperial College London, Harvard Medical School, Microsoft Research and Bogazici University. By experience, I have been involved in many software companies and I am currently running Pointr. Pointr is a technology company, with a very strong team of computer scientists and researchers, pioneering indoor location and data services for large indoor venues. Today Pointr's Deep Location platform is deployed across 15 countries around the globe from Japan to Canada and we have team members in several countries, prominently in the UK, Greece, Turkey, US and UAE. Creatd was a software consultancy business, also based in London, that I grew before launching Pointr. Creatd helped large multinationals with their digital strategies and clients included Ford Motor Company, Scottish Power and Tesco. People I've worked with particularly appreciate my friendly, focused and confident approach. I am always happy to discuss new and interesting projects / ideas so please do not hesitate to get in touch.
