Chris Evans, MCSD
President
Global Market Media, Inc.
Prior to receiving a Master’s degree in Computer Information Systems from Nova Southeastern
Chris Evans worked in Tampa, Florida as a financial advisor and stock broker for Omni Tax &
Financial, and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance from the University
of Tampa.
Recognizing an emerging market for investment software catering to individual
investors, Chris founded Sentient Software, Inc. in 1992 to provide advanced analytics
to the retail investor market. Sentient’s flagship product ExpertTrader is considered
the first retail product in its area to incorporate embedded learning
and neural
networks, and received industry and client accolades in the
year following its release.
ExpertTrader attracted the attention of nearby competitor Omega Research, a
Miami-based
software company also serving the retail investor market. After selling product
rights for ExpertTrader and converting existing customers to Omega Research products,
Chris joined Omega Research as a software engineer in 1994. Drawing from his investment and
trading knowledge coupled with a strong understanding
of technology and software design, Chris moved quickly up the ranks at Omega Research, and
held positions including Engineer Lead, Program Manager, Product Manager, Vice President
of Product Strategy and Vice President
of Product Research. Throughout his 8 year
tenure at Omega, which eventually became TradeStation (NASDAQ: TRAD), Chris maintained his “hands on” approach, continuing to be involved
with software design and architecture from the conceptual perspective as well as at the
code level.
Currently, Chris is involved with Global Market Media, Inc., an
internet-based software publisher and consulting firm providing leading-edge custom
enterprise software.
Says Chris, "To me the internet is the 'Global Market Media', bringing together
people in ways that were unconsidered just a few years ago. I named the
company
after this concept to serve as a reminder that the rules have changed
and our thinking
needs to change as well. Limits have been redrawn in nearly
every area of society,
but nowhere more than in business. Virtualization of offices and workforces
allows smaller businesses access to talent and resources that
were previously unavailable.
This in turn levels the playing field in software innovation where smaller companies
often enjoy an advantage. By applying Agile software principles, and leveraging onshore and
offshore talent, Global Market Media is committed to providing a stream of innovative
business solutions."
