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.

Previously Jordan co-founded Napster, Inc., developing their ground-breaking P2P technologies alongside Shawn Fanning before the company was funded in August 1999. As Chief Server Architect, he led the development and management of the server back-end software and infrastructure to support 50 million users worldwide in less than a year. Prior to Napster, Jordan worked for computer security startup Netect as a Network Security Engineer, engaged in vulnerability research and software development. Netect subsequently sold for $35 million to Bindview Development Corporation, where he stayed on as Senior Security Analyst and continued his research and development work, and subsequently published findings on a key global Internet security vulnerability.
