Jason brings to FitnessKeeper more than 10 years of experience in and around emerging technology companies, including roles in recruiting, sales, business development, and most recently, conducting CEO and VP level searches on behalf of leading venture capital firms. He is also an avid runner. In fact, he’s running in the Boston Marathon today, and recently completed the Chicago Marathon. Jason received his BA from Wesleyan University and his MBA from Babson College, where he was an Olin Fellow.

FitnessKeeper is a company that combines Jason’s passions for mobile and fitness. Jason’s first product, RunKeeper, is an iPhone application for runners and cyclists that has been downloaded more than 325,000 times since August, and featured in publications such as Xconomy, Lifehacker, Mashable, TechCrunch, The New York Times, and by Apple in a series of iPhone ads and on the walls of Apple stores.

 
Jason will be among a jam-packed set of panelists discussing what they’re doing to build a mobile media business.
