Kevin Magee, Chief Technology Officer,
Zyte
A large part of Magee’s role in the company will be to help Zyte capitalize on the company’s growth to date.
“The data extraction market is growing rapidly, as more companies are finding that their external data acquisition demands are extending beyond what they are able to handle with internal resources,” said Shane Evans, CEO of Zyte.
“As analytics and other forms of data consumption continue to evolve, organizations are finding that their data collection and integration operations are evolving in ways that aren’t necessarily efficient,” said Kevin Magee, newly appointed Chief Technology Officer for Zyte.
Kevin Magee has more than 30 years of expertise in the technology sector and has held senior positions for numerous growth-stage technology businesses.
He has held a number of senior technical and management positions, including Senior Vice President of Engineering for LetsGetChecked, the at-home healthcare diagnostics firm, Vice President of Innovation Lab in the Optum division of UnitedHealth Group, CTO and Director of Product R&D for the digital division of UL Solutions, COO for Information Mosaic, and CTO of VIDiRO Analytics.
