Name: Scott Evans
Title: VP Operations & Product Development
The Role: Organizing Chaos
Phrase: “Let’s all just take a step back here.”
As the most educated member of the team in the life sciences, it’s only natural that he runs Operations and Product Development for Kargo, a… ummm… technology company. Ok, sure. After graduating from Virginia Tech, Scott saw tours of duty within telecom (AT&T, Nextel), ISP’s (AOL, EarthLink) and software development companies (Radiant Systems, Definition6) before coming to work for Kargo.
Scott is currently dual-hatted, serving as the head of Operations and Product Development. He oversees budget formulation and keeps a keen eye on Kargo’s product portfolio and go-to-market strategies, but really his job is to keep everyone moving in the same direction.
A legend in his own mind, Scott is the guy to see if you need a decision. It may not always be the right decision, but a decision you will get.
Scott is a fanatic about Virginia Tech and bulldogs. You can contact him at

Name: Florian Hoenig
Title: Chief Architect, Mobile Solutions
The Role: The Assembler
Phrase: “Look at this... It's perfect!”
Due to the proximity of his birth location to the German borders, Florian conveys an aura of engineering-quality frenzy that is somehow outclassed by his ability to use technology creatively. He'll glean business requirements from a painting, build web services from esoteric experiences and pull enterprise platforms out of a pointy hat.
Florian earned his MSc. in Computer Science focusing on Computer Graphics, Image Analysis and Machine Learning from Johannes Kepler Universität in Linz, Austria and was granted an ERASUMS scholarship to spend a year at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands to augment his studies. He started out working with mentally handicapped people to develop computer skills and art. The experience must have had something to do with his becoming an unlikely combination of stiff engineer and free flowing artist.
Florian was found at the base of a large European mountain running his own Internet application and messaging business. He was clubbed and brought to New York. If you want to hear more about his experiences,
