Digital Transformation for Enterprises
Dev Gandhi
CEO
moBack
"Rapid decision-making is critical in a dynamic digital environment. Twelve-month product-release cycles are a relic. Organizations need to move to a cycle of continuous delivery and improvement, adopting methods to increase the pace of innovation. Continuous improvement requires continuous experimentation, along with a process for quickly responding to bits of information."
Gandhi is an expert in mobile development and the mobile economy, as well as technology trends as they relate to mobile. He founded Nexage, which was eventually sold to Millennial Media for $108 million. His most current venture is moBack, a new enterprise Mobile Backend-as-a-Service (MBaaS) company. One of the key products of moBack is moBack Enterprise, a self-deployable MBaaS platform that helps developers build and deploy mobile and Web apps faster and at a lower cost. With moBack's self-deployable platform, businesses now have instant access to an easy, secure and scalable backend platform to develop mobile apps, while enjoying full control and customization capabilities. This announcement marks the launch of a multi-phase rollout of the cloud-based platform, which allows large enterprises and startups to rapidly scale their existing infrastructure to roll out mobile and Web apps.

The Most Successful Investors Use a Simple Approach
Bijan Golkar, CFP®
CEO/Senior Advisor
FPC Investment Advisory, Inc.
If investing seems complicated, it's mainly because of the way we're wired. Over eons, we've developed tendencies and biases that have helped our species to survive. Those tendencies are based on the primal emotions of fear and greed. Many investors fall into these two categories of emotions. Greedy investors tend to time the markets, buy the latest hot stock and severely lack diversification. On the other hand, fearful investors love cash, avoid equities and also think another big crash is just around the corner. Adds Golkar: "The most successful investors use a much simpler approach. They work to create a long-term investment strategy based on their goals, and then they trust that strategy, regardless of what the market does in any given day, month or year."
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Golkar has been quoted in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, U.S. News & World Report, Yahoo Finance, The Fiscal Times, Bankrate, MoneyUnder30.com, MainStreet.com, InvestmentNews.com, Physician's Money Digest, and DepositAccounts.com.
