Umberto Milletti is the cofounder and CEO of InsideView, the pioneering business search & intelligence service. Umberto has been a thought leader in the convergence of technology and content for the last 10 years. In the mid-90s he helped create a new way of learning, now called e-learning, where relevant instructions is delivered to students over the Internet. Beginning in 1996, as an executive and co-founder of DigitalThink, he also designed and built one of the first multi-tenant Software-As-A-Service platforms to deliver and track learning for millions of adult students each year. Umberto helped lead DigitalThink to a successful IPO, growing annual revenues to $60 million, and ultimately to its sale to Convergys in 2004. Even when he's not busy changing the world, you are likely to find Umberto moving quickly, either on a race track where he competes in auto racing, or on a bicycle racing up a hill, or playing sports with his two boys. Umberto holds a B.S., summa cum laude, in Electrical Engineering from Tufts University and an M.S. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of California-Berkeley.
