About me

Carl has been a digital pioneer and entrepreneur throughout his career. He has founded a series of huge-growth businesses, including Somo, Overture and Yahoo's first mobile search offering. He was recently named the most influential man in mobile in The Drum's Mobile Top 50.

Carl has an uncanny knack of spotting the perfect niche in a market and is an investor in many mobile and digital businesses including the much-acclaimed Swiftkey.

Prior to Somo, Carl was co-founder at Overture Europe, the company to pioneer the multi-billion dollar pay-per-click advertising industry into Europe. As CTO, he was integral in leading the business to success in 15 European countries, and its eventual sale to Yahoo! for $1.63 billion in 2003. A leader in search and social networking, he was headhunted to the Silicon Valley, where he created the Yahoo! One Search mobile platform.
