Jed Alpert, Mobile Commons founder and SVP at Upland Software

Jed founded Mobile Commons, which was one of the earliest mobile messaging platforms. Mobile Commons brought thousands of messaging campaigns to hundreds of non-profits, government agencies and healthcare companies.

Mobile Commons was acquired by Upland Software in 2014 and Jed has continued to drive much of what's happening in the messaging space. Upland software has acquired several messaging platforms and is one of the largest messaging companies in the world. 

As Jed discusses in the episode, Upland software is currently focused on helping their customers take an omnichannel approach and understand the actionable insights in their messaging and digital data.
