Jateen Parekh is the CTO and co-founder of Jelli. During the past 16 years Parekh has developed innovative platforms and assembled teams redefining consumer experiences. Prior to Jelli, Parekh was recruited by Amazon as the first employee, Principal, and Head of Advanced Technology for the Kindle project. He was also an early engineer and architect at ReplayTV which launched the first Digital Video Recorder (DVR) consequently altering the viewing behavior of TV audiences. At Philips Research in Palo Alto (Philips Multimedia Center), he was the technical lead for Pronto, the first internet-enabled, universal remote control, and architect of several new platforms intended for TV delivered e-coupon & digital wallet systems, domestic digital assistants and internet-enabled set-top products.

In addition to technology, Parekh is deeply passionate about music and is excited about the prospect of reinventing radio - a medium that has given him so much over the years.
Personal note from Kimberly: Jateen is a brilliant technologist, an innovative entrepreneur, and a warm and delightful human being. Come hear him share his amazing journey as an engineer through big companies and small to becoming the founder of one of the hottest startups in the Valley. Jateen and I worked together at ReplayTV long ago, before the dot-com bust. When I saw him on the cover of the Wall Street Journal last year I felt lucky to have met him before he was so famous! I am sure we'll all enjoy hearing Jateen's stories, lessons learned, and wisdom. - Scrappy Kimberly Wiefling

SNACK & BEVERAGE SPONSOR: Paul Alpert, CPA, MS(Tax) from TenForty - As a tax professional, I often find myself in disagreement with the tax advice given to business people. In my opinion there are some simple strategies using corporations and other entities which can save substantial amounts of tax, improve cash flow, and reduce audit risk and which are typically overlooked or utilized incorrectly.
