Brian Axe
I have a passion for building great products and companies. I spend my time now helping others do the same. I launched the AdSense for Content business in 2003 and grew it to a multibillion dollar product line. I worked in the Google Apps group (2008-2010) focused on Google's photo products (Picasa, PicasaWeb, Google+, etc). I authored over a dozen patents, championed acquisitions of Applied Semantics, Feedburner, Picnik, and Performics and served as the product lead for the $3B DoubleClick integration. Prior to joining Google, I founded Zaplet (now MetricStream), a Kleiner Perkins, Vinod Khosla start-up bringing email based applications to market.
