Damian Black, President and CEODamian Black has over twenty-five years in the software infrastructure business, starting at HP's European Research Labs, designing systems to automate human reasoning and manage complex rule bases. His career at Hewlett-Packard included running a European-wide software and services business specializing in distributed systems development technology. Moving to the US in 1996, he led the team that created HP Internet Usage Manager, pioneering a new market category that became known as IP Mediation. This software was used to continuously collect, aggregate and transform Internet data for billing and real-time analysis applications and became the market leader. Leaving HP to join XACCT Technologies as VP of Product Management and Applications Solutions, he helped XACCT wrest the market leadership from HP. XACCT was later acquired by Amdocs, the world's leading billing systems supplier, which today uses XACCT for all of its real-time data mediation. Most recently, Damian was VP Sales (Americas) and VP WW Business Development for Followap until it was acquired by NeuStar Inc. Followap, a Sequoia-funded company, was market leader in mobile Instant Messaging and Presence, continuing Damian's involvement in real-time middleware technologies.
