BIO
Mr. St.John can draw upon his considerable skills in product marketing management, marketing, and business development. He is recognized in the complex world of PC computer software as someone who "can put it all together"; recognize the value of products and technologies, marry these solutions to real world business problems, and engage marketing channels and business partners to deliver revenue.

These activities included coordinating national conferences, producing over 150 live satellite television broadcasts to customer audiences, producing and editing a series of video tapes and multi-media CD ROMs; conducting training and education for customers, marketing and sales personnel, instructing technical support personnel, even constructing, editing and publishing a special edition of a major trade magazine to support an IBM product launch.

More recently, Mr. St.John has directed marketing campaigns and promotions for IBM's Intel based client and server software, coordinated national business programs and "road-shows" focused on extending IBM brand recognition outside IBM's traditional customer set, and delivered product marketing to IBM's channel and business partners by creating a series of Internet web pages specifically designed for the needs of these resellers.

In 1998, Mr. St.John determined the time was appropriate to launch a new company designed to simplify business computing tools for business. Recognizing the unnecessary complexity which has emerged and become characteristic of the business computing environment, Mr. St.John developed a business model based on "user needs assessment". Starting with the job that needs to be done and working backwards to design a technically elegant solution. Technical elegance is, conversely, characterized by simplicity. And simplicity, in this case, can translate to reasonable business expenses and cost control.
