Team

  • David Trollman
    President

    I've spun up a dozen businesses and orgs after a career in SW engineering and bus dev, but B4UGO is the one.

    Degrees from Harvard and Stanford brought me to a distinguished career as a software engineer and analyst at Litton. I then transitioned into busdev for Venture Research, where I founded the Wireless Comms alliance and co-founded startups in healthcare, transportation, mobile portals, and geolocation. B4UGO's wait time patent is mine.

  • Richard Fuller
    Chief Technology Officer

    Now CTO of B4UGO, Dr. Fuller also serves as Dir of the Wireless Comms Alliance and chairs its LBS SIG. Co-founder and managing partner of GeoTrax until its acquisition two years later by 3SI Security, he also co-founded Traxsis, where he was VPEng until its acquisition by Axiom. He worked at the GPS Lab at Stanford and as chief system architect at Space Systems/Loral, holds several GPS-related patents, and earned his PhD from Stanford.
