My special guest today, in honor of the newly-released Evernote apps for iOS and iPadOS, is Ian Small, CEO of Evernote.

About Ian Small

Ian brings more than 25 years of global product, technology, and business leadership experience to his current role. Trained as an engineer, Ian's career has evolved from designing and building user experiences at Apple into product leadership and large-scale business management as CEO of TokBox and global Chief Data Officer for Telefónica SA.

In addition to his current role at Evernote, Ian sits on the board of directors for Lumentum and is an advisory board member for Alphabet subsidiary Loon (a graduate of Google’s X Lab). He holds a Master of Science degree in Computer Science, a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Engineering Science from the University of Toronto, and has earned more than 10 patents.
