PA3 "Second Tuesdays" Propeller
MAY
2016 PROPELLER
Tuesday, May 10th, 2016 - 6pm
SPEAKER: MARK TANNER ‘12
After
graduating from Princeton in 2012, Mark spent a year at Google coordinating
major sports partnerships for YouTube and Google+. While at Google, he
developed a passion for building and designing products. In late 2013,
Mark left Google and joined the team that launched Movo.
Movo
designed and manufactured a fully customizable activity tracker for companies
looking to engage employees around the importance of health and wellness.
Over the course of two years, Movo built a client roster of major companies
including, Subway, UBS, Johnson and Johnson, Princeton University and Burger
King.
As
CEO and Co-Founder, Mark designed Movo’s hardware and software products, built
an efficient supply chain in China, oversaw Movo’s global distribution center
in Indianapolis and constructed and contributed to an effective sales and
marketing strategy.
After
two years of work and over 10,000 devices sold, Movo hit a crossroads.
Their lean team and limited resources made it difficult to sustain their
success and scale their operation. With market leaders struggling in the
space, the challenges began to overwhelm the investors who ultimately decided
to wind the operation down.
Mark
is eager to share his story as a cautionary tale of fast growth in a
competitive sector.

First Friday Lunch - May 6, 2016
Join us for First Fridays, a monthly recurring event for undergraduate and graduate Princeton alumni, graduate students, and parents. On the first Friday of each month, area alumni and their guests will meet to enjoy a prix fixe luncheon at the Nassau Club in downtown Princeton. As a special bonus for PA3, a Princeton University PhD candidate will present his/her work to the group in this informal setting. Topics vary monthly and are always interesting! Have a look at our impressive roster of previous luncheons.
On Friday, May 6th, 2016, we will be joined by James A. Smith, a PhD Candidate in the Department of Geosciences. Seismologists now
research datasets of unprecedented size and complexity. For example, we are
imaging the Earth's interior using over 4,000 earthquakes recorded at over
3,000 stations across the globe. In order to effectively utilize these datasets
in modern seismic workflows, the data must be sensibly organized and the
computational resources efficiently used. In other words, what good is a
supercomputer if you are always reading and writing data? James will discuss ASDF,
a modern data format for seismology that offers new ways to exchange and query
large datasets, reproduce results, and decrease the time to research.
As always, there is sure to be a lively discussion! Please join us.
Specially priced at $25/person (or $30 if you choose not to pay PA3's annual dues), lunch includes three courses, a complementary beverage (wine, beer, soft drink) and coffee/tea. Pre-registration is preferred.
>> Looking forward to seeing you...in your orange and black! <<
Date: Friday, May 6th, 2016
Time: 12 noon - 2 pm
Location: Nassau Club, 6 Mercer St, Princeton, NJ
