Mike has built a career creating software that transforms inscrutable data into compelling, actionable information. He co-founded Altos Research in 2005 and, as CEO, has built the company into the premier resource for real-time real estate market analytics (because real estate information is notoriously inscrutable and highly latent.) The company’s information products serve investors, derivatives traders, and thousands of real estate professionals. Mike’s insights on information technology and the real estate market are widely sought, including recent commentary on /Bloomberg Television/ and in the /New York Times/. Prior to founding Altos, Mike was vice president of marketing and product management for network security systems vendor Nevis Networks where has a patent pending for applied data cryptography.
