Just wanted to do a quick update on our upcoming Mobile Breakfast Series event on Mobile Commerce and Payments on June 28th.
We are excited to add Michael Goo, Vice President at T-Mobile to the mix. Michael is a co-architect in the creation of the ISIS business model with a continuing oversight role in T-Mobile’s investment in ISIS. His role encompasses both strategic alliances and mobile commerce. Given his involvement in the mobile payments initiatives and strategy, he will be a wonderful addition to our diverse panel.
In our annual predictions survey, the respondents picked mobile payments and commerce as the top two categories. Given the activity in the space in the last few weeks, things are certainly moving in this direction at least for the 1H 2011. A lot is still uncertain and there are too many players in the middle and some have yet to stake their claim but all of this makes for a very interesting 6-12 months in the space and perfectly sets up our panel on the 28th.
Rodger Desai, CEO and Cofounder, Payfone – Fresh from their $19M round, the company is starting to break into the market with its unique value prop
Jim Greenwell, President & CEO, BilltoMobile – The parent company Danal has been doing m-commerce in Korea for some time, and now they are seeing success in the US market
Andrew Lorentz, Partner, Davis Wright Tremaine – Commerce and payments has an important regulatory and legal aspect that will be well covered by Andrew. He has been deeply involved in formulating many mobile payment businesses in the US
Mark Young, VP – Strategy, NBC Universal – Mark is a consumer of these commerce technologies and has good insights into the issues in the ecosystem that needs to be addressed
Michael Goo, VP – Strategic Initiatives, T-Mobile – Michael has been the co-architect of the ISIS business model and deeply involved in all things mobile commerce
