Inventing the iPhone

Andy Grignon has made a career out of creating and shipping highly visible consumer products. He started out at Apple in the Advanced Technology Group developing QuickTime Conferencing and QuickTime Streaming technologies. After stints at Excite@Home and Pixo (maker of the iPod OS), he was back at Apple building iChat AV and the iSight camera. He went on to write Dashboard for MacOS, prior to becoming part of the small, ragtag group charged with creating iPhone. After shipping iPhone 1.0, he left for Palm to co-invent webOS. As VP of Applications and Platforms, he oversaw the release of 13 versions of webOS. He then founded a startup called Quake Labs, where they built a new kind of platform for content creation and distribution - as CEO, he became intimately familiar with the ups and downs of everything surrounding startup life. He went on to become a Partner at Siberia, a design and engineering agency delivering on heavy-duty projects for top-tier brands. Today he is a Design & Technology Fellow with JPMorgan Chase & Co. in San Francisco reporting directly to the Global Chief Experience Officer, charged with inventing world-class technologies and solutions to help Chase customers prosper.
