So Long and Thanks For all the Fish!

Friends, I’ve made the decision to step down as UMapper CEO and end my active involvement in the company’s day-to-day operations. Needless to say, this has been one of the hardest decisions I have had to make, but I feel it is the right one.

From now on the company will be lead by UMapper co-founder Antoine Toffa. Please connect with Antoine on LinkedIn, shoot him an email, or ping me for an introduction.

Since founding the company back in 2005, I feel very fortunate to have worked with the best and the most talented people in the industry (you know who you are) who transformed UMapper from a concept into a service used by thousands of individuals and companies. It is hard to believe that today UMapper serves millions of maps on some of the biggest media websites.

Also, I want to say how grateful I am to all UMapper partners and customers who have contributed a great deal to the company’s growth and continue to use its services and support its efforts. THANK YOU!

I wish UMapper all the best, and I will continue to support the company as a board member and shareholder. Cheers!

Update: I resigned from UMapper’s Board of Directors on 8/4/2010
