At this month's TiE Tuesday, we welcome back former TiE DC President Dev Ganesan. Dev has a successful track record of building and scaling companies in the digital, mobile, customer relationship management (CRM), and analytics industries. He most recently served as the CEO of Fishbowl Inc, where he transformed the company from a legacy email services provider for more than 14 years to a big data analytics and marketing automation platform in the restaurant business, culminating in a sale to a PE in early 2017. Dev had served as CEO of Aptara, where he led its evolution from a content service provider to a digital and mobile solutions partner, guiding the publishing industry’s transition from print to the digital age. Under his leadership, Aptara tripled its value in a three year period and was acquired in 2012.

Prior to Aptara, Dev had leadership roles in several tech companies including Advanced Communications Systems (Nasdaq: ACSC, a professional services firm) where he led seven acquisitions and the company’s IPO. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of BrandMuscle and ItemMater, and volunteers on the Board of DC Central Kitchen. Ganesan received the EY 2017 Entrepreneur-of-the-Year award, Future 50 award in 2014 and 2013, and was recognized as a Washington Tech Titan in 2013.
