As the co-founder and CEO of Skykit, Irfan sets the strategic direction for the company. He oversaw the launch of the platform in 2016 and has since worked to grow it into a major provider of powerful digital signage and workplace experience tools.
Irfan is also an entrepreneur and the co-founder of Agosto, an IT consulting firm that became one of Google’s top go-to-market partners under his leadership. Agosto retained customers like Starbucks and Goodyear, and was eventually acquired by Pythian in 2020.
Irfan holds a bachelor’s degree in environmental sciences from the University of Oregon and is an avid cyclist who has completed the Leadville Trail 100 bike race six times. He frequently rides and races with fellow Skykit cyclists.
Paul has more than 25 years of experience building technical teams in application software, product development, and systems integration. He is charged with executing the strategic vision of all product development and intellectual property at Skykit.
He previously oversaw Agosto’s cloud product development consultancy, leading the largest Google Cloud Platform (GCP) software development team in North America. With his oversight, the group built software to facilitate a device deployment and provisioning process for a global retailer with 9,000 stores in North America. The project and platform informed and inspired the product that would become Skykit.
Paul holds a bachelor’s degree in computer science and business administration from Minnesota State University, Mankato. He enjoys cycling, mountain climbing and ice hockey.
