An entrepreneur at heart, Jordan Ritter's expertise within a diverse range of disciplines and architectures has helped create some of the Internet's most popular software. Before his success at Cloudmark, Jordan worked as VP of Technology at Round1, a financial services startup, where he focused primarily on data aggregation and analysis initiatives.
