Founder, CEO
Adam has focussed his career on helping marketers get the most out of their marketing efforts. He saw Social Media as an arena with a dearth of good tools and knew that he could fix that with his digital marketing pedigree, years of SaaS product management experience, and dashing good looks.
Prior to Argyle, Adam was product manager for Bronto where he helped them build a solid position in the email marketing space. Before that he worked at Unica solving massive marketing problems for enterprise clients.
Adam has a BS in Computer Science from Worcester Polytech where he was published for his work on distributed computing far before it was hip.
Though he may come across as risk averse, Adam has dabbled in the art of crazy with previous hobbies of motorcycle racing and ice diving.
Art & UX Director
Josh keeps Argyle looking beautiful, simple, and ultimately usable. Obsessive about data visualization, web standards, and UI patterns, Josh makes sure every interaction — from simple tweeting to complex reporting — is gorgeous and understandable.
Before coming to Argyle, Josh was the Visual Design Lead for LotusLive at IBM, where he led the graphic and interaction design strategies of enterprise-level SaaS applications for collaboration, file-sharing, and interactive meetings.
Josh graduated Summa cum Laude from the College of Design at North Carolina State University in both Graphic Design and Industrial Design.
Tidbit: Ask Josh to put break tags in a line of text and watch him go all Hulk on you.
