Jason Kerr, Founder & CTO
Mr Kerr has until recently, been responsible for the company’s technical direction, strategic management and global expansion, and over the past several years he has directed his thinking and expertise to radically changing the failing job-board model and creating a powerful new paradigm of automated high-quality anonymous job matching. In June 2009, Kerr replaced himself as President & CEO and brought in Curt Witte as the new President & CEO for QuietAgent, with a directive to take the company from R&D into commercial revenue generating mode. Prior to founding QuietAgent in 2000, Kerr was the CEO and founder of Forte Solutions Limited, a software development company that developed logistical support and management software for the global regional airline market. The company had a 60% market share in Asia-Pacific when it was sold to Accenture in 2005. Earlier in his career, Kerr co-founded Forte Communications which designed, developed and patented the first SMS text messaging platform allowing two-way text messages to be sent to and from mobile devices and the Internet. In 1997, he led the successful sale of that business to Telecom Wireless Solutions of Atlanta (predecessor to BellSouth). Also during his career, Kerr founded and successfully floated a voice-video-email technology onto the secondary London stock exchange, the AIM.
