Rich Miner

Led the development of innovative products and services for over 20years with a focus on emerging technologies adapted to solve customer-centric problems. I thrive at building bright, creative teams and being hands on from the initial architecture through sales process. I am currently doing Wireless development at Google after the acquisition of my start-up Android. Prior to that I was managing a global group for advanced development at Orange while also participating as a Consulting Partner in Orange Ventures. I joined Orange as a result of their acquisition of Wildfire Communications, Inc., a pioneer of interactive speech-based interfaces which I co-founded. At Wildfire, I led the design and development of the company’s initial products and was also responsible for key industrial partnerships and coordinated activities to expand into new markets. I have a doctorate in Computer Science from the University of Mass at Lowell.
