Who is John SanGiovanni?

John SanGiovanni has more than eight years of experience as a wireless

strategist and mobile user interface designer. He is to blame for

Zumobi's obsession with design and to-the-nanosecond interest in

technical and cultural trends. Before Zumobi, John was Technical

Evangelist and Program Manager for Microsoft Research, where he managed

external academic research funding in the areas of mobile technologies

and user interfaces. In this role, he filed several patents concerning

information visualization, hardware interfaces and interaction

techniques for next-generation mobile devices, some of which provide

the foundation for Zumobi's core user experience. Before joining

Microsoft, John worked on the Advanced Technology Learning Solutions

team at PPI/Knowledge Universe and worked in Studio Entertainment for

the Walt Disney Company. John has a Bachelor of Science in Advertising

and a concentration on Computing from the University of Florida.
