Richard D. Lane

Mobile Sector Expert

Rich has spent the better part of the past 25 years building companies — primarily in mobile technologies — and maximizing shareholder value in those companies. Last year he merged Airpath Wireless (which he joined as CEO a little over a year earlier) into Aptilo Networks.

Before Airpath he had started Jitterbug by GreatCall, a cellular phone solution targeted at the boomer market. Rich specializes in launching early stage companies/business units as well as taking over troubled/stalled companies and repositioning them in the marketplace. In addition, as a senior team member for the planning and launch of several cellular service providers, his sales, marketing and distribution channel background contributed to the early success in bringing innovative telecommunications/technology products to market.

Rich holds an M.B.A. and B.S. from the Wharton School.
