Schneider is a graduate of the University of California, holding a bachelor’s in mechanical engineering and an MBA he received at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
“I’ve been a huge supporter of CommerceTel since its inception back in 2006,” said Mr. Schneider. “It’s a natural evolution to extend my involvement to the Board level now that the Company has entered the public markets and is poised to execute a very aggressive growth strategy. As a Director, I look forward to assisting in the Company’s success.”
Commerce Tel is a maker of proprietary mobile marketing technologies, and the creator of C4, a cloud-based enterprise platform that allows brands to serve advertising to and engage consumers via mobile communications and other sources. C4 integrates with PSTN/IP carriers and micropayment processing facilities, as well as SMS billing systems.
“I’m very excited to have Doug join the Company as a Director,” stated Dennis Becker, CommerceTel’s CEO. “Very few people have the background and proven experience in hyper-growth business models that Doug has, and it’s a huge testament to CommerceTel’s market position and growth strategy that he has agreed to serve on our Board.”
