David Yun’s Summary

Since 2000, I have worked in a variety of roles in Development, Product Management, and Product Marketing. Starting as a developer at a small start up called iHarvest that was acquired by Interwoven, I eventually became the Sr. Product Manager on TeamSite, Interwoven's Flagship Content Management platform. In 2003, I joined Macromedia to work on the Breeze (now Acrobat Connect Pro) product staying on through the Adobe acquisition. While taking a break to get my MFA degree from San Francisco Art Institute, I consulted for Adobe in the role of Community Manager working primarily on the community site ConnectUsers.com, building up the user group program, and developing training and resources for customers. I recently joined ConnectSolutions, the world's only provider of secure and scalable managed services for real-time collaboration and web conferencing to lead a team building a new webcasting product called Podium.
