SecuritySolutionsWatch.com: Thank you for joining us today, Bryan. If you wouldn’t mind, please tell us a little bit about your background and your role at HP.
Bryan Coapstick: As the Director of Mobile Innovation, I am responsible for ensuring that HP’s mobility initiatives successfully help enterprises improve communications and interactions with customers, employees, constituents and partners to ensure they have the data they need, when they need it, and in a format that is easy to interact with and consume. Additionally, I serve as the industry chair for the Advanced Mobility Working group for the American Council for Technology/Industry Advisory Council (ACT/IAC), whose mission is to “foster collaboration and communication on issues regarding mobile computing in the Federal Government, including citizen services, remote connectivity, employee services, workforce productivity, digital publishing, and enterprise mobility.”
Prior to joining HP, I spent nearly two decades in both the public and private sectors, focused on emerging technologies and the critical intersections between business strategy and technology. I’ve worked with several Fortune 200 companies to increase their market presence and effectively leverage their mobile and digital channels. Additionally, I have built interactive teams, worked to guide digital mobile strategies, and led an Innovation Lab focused on accelerating digital interaction models, the convergence of big data analytics with context aware applications, and emerging mobile payments and transaction capabilities.
