DAN KENNEDY

Hi, I'm Dan Kennedy from Echo Automotive and Mindnest.

Kennedy has built a career out of turning big ideas into successful companies. Over the past 20 years, Kennedy has been the entrepreneurial force behind seven companies, raising over $250 million dollars in venture funding. Most notably, he co-founded SalesLogix, one of the most widely used sales-force automation software offerings on the market. Echo Automotive, Kennedy's latest venture, is revolutionary technology that allow fleet vehicles to reduce their fuel expenses by 50% or more with a real-world ROI of only 18-24 months. EchoDrive is currently being operated in stealth mode and additional information will become available in the future. Kennedy founded Vcommerce in 1997, creating the outsourced commerce market space. Kennedy's vision and execution led its platform development, market positioning and strategy. In 2001, he moved on to form a business incubator. His guidance helped companies in a wide range of industries take root and grow into multi-million dollar enterprises. In mid-2003, Kennedy repurchased Vcommerce and served as CEO, President and CTO. He refocused the company on an annuity-based model; brought on a solid management team; and delivered a comprehensive, Web-based solution for capturing, sourcing and managing orders across complex, multi-channel environments. Vcommerce provided complete services to companies such as Sony.com, Target.com, Overstock, and many others representing billions in transactions annually. Vcommerce was sold to Channel Intelligence in 2009. RouteCloud, established by Kennedy in 2008, has been operating in stealth mode since its inception. The first public preview of a solution powered by RouteCloud is being demonstrated at www.Protector.com Kennedy studied mathematics, computer engineering and advanced music theory at Syracuse University.
