Trevor Traina

Beginning his career in New York City as the youngest-ever Brand Manager at Seagram Company Ltd., Trevor Traina subsequently co-founded his first venture, CompareNet, which became the first major online consumer buying guide. Just as CompareNet was later purchased by Microsoft, Trevor Traina's further successes in the technology sector have led to acquisition of his ideas and sites. These ventures include DriverSide, which was sold in 2011; SchemaLogic, Inc., which was purchased by Smartlogic Semaphore Limited XML in 2011; and StepUp Commerce, which was acquired by Intuit, Inc., in 2006.

Currently based in San Francisco, Trevor Traina has shared his success over the years through board service and support of numerous charitable and non-profit organizations, such as the Gladstone Institutes, the Princeton University Art Museum, and the Fine Art Museums of San Francisco. Trevor Traina also served on the Board of Directors of the Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation and the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned an MBA.
