Who We Are

Our team includes designers, engineers, technologists, content specialists, and business and organizational development professionals; all dedicated to excellence in their work. In this work, we call on a network of business and technology veterans that extends from Cambridge to Palo Alto and across the globe.

Leading our team is CEO Steven Solomon. He is the past Deputy Director of a world-leading computer science center, the Center for Real-time Intelligent Complex Computing, and was most recently the Director of the Interactive Communities Network, a unique regional, public intranet. From 1984 through 1996, he served in several regional management capacities with MediaOne of New England, including Director of Public Affairs. There he developed and managed a ground-breaking, fully interactive distance-learning system over cable. He is also the published author of numerous articles on the intersection of business, technology, and culture. You can read some of his thoughts, as well as those of others, in Things We Think.
