Twiistup 2010

Central Desktop loves sponsoring events like Twiistup, which brings start-ups and entrepreneurs scattered across LA together to network, showcase their businesses and form valuable business relationships.

This year's "Casino Royale" themed Twiistup was a huge success, as hundreds gathered to listen to great speakers, check out the hottest new start-ups and do a little gambling at the Central Desktop blackjack table.

We were happy to be a part of it, and look forward to participating in more great events in 2010!

Introducing: Kathleen Lim

This month, we'd like to introduce Kathleen Lim.  She'll be managing our business development and strategic alliance efforts, which include developing key partnerships and finding deeper product integration fits.

Kathleen joins our team with plenty of biz dev experience. She spent 4.5 years at Deloitte as a senior consultant in the Enterprise Risk Services group. After Deloitte, Kathleen focused her IT security and audit knowledge on the software side of the GRC industry (Governance, Risk & Compliance) at ControlPath (majority-owned by Accuvant) and Trustwave doing sales, business development and partner management.

She currently lives in Manhattan Beach, where she likes to defy the common misconception that "Texans don't surf."

We're glad to have Kathleen on board - please join us in welcoming her! If you'd like to connect, Kathleen can be reached at 626-689-4454, or klim@centraldesktop.com.
