Kaj HeGe Häggman’s Summary

I have created products and services from scratch; coming up with the idea, defining the basic architecture and business model, getting funding, creating the team, etc, all the way to taking it all to the market. And in almost every role you could imagine.

My background is technical and I spent some fifteen years in the Internet Security space before moving to bizdev and venturing, which I have been doing since 1999. The focus has been on mobile since 1996. I have been on the Internet since 1986.

I co-Founded WidSets, which is an exciting mobile 2.0 service. It went from the first written line of code to 1M registered mobile users in 18 months, during Spring 2007, and continues to grow rapidly. I moved from WidSets to head the Games Community Platform, which provided the social features and multiplayer gaming for N-Gage and Snap Mobile.

<Interviews and Public performances>

I have attended numerous conferences and spoken at (among others) at Picnic'06 (Amsterdam), Crossmedia Week 2006 (Amsterdam), Mobile 2.0 2006 (San Francisco), WidgetsLive 2006 (San Francisco), Financial Times Mobile Media 2007 (London), Chinwag Live 2007 (London), MAPOS USA 2007 (San Francisco), Millenials 2007 (NYC), as well as at several Mobile Monday events.
