    Founded on the premise of making mobile email truly actionable, I began exploring new ways to turn simple gestures and canned responses as a way to deal with email on the go.

After leaving the team, I stayed on as an expert advisor as they created tablet and Android versions of Boxer. Boxer was sold to VMWare in October of 2015.
