Steve Jillings
President and CEO, Vantage Media
Steve Jillings is president and CEO of Vantage Media and the former president and CEO of FrontBridge Technologies, where he was responsible for taking the company from a startup to a global leader in managed messaging services. Tasked with driving the company's strategic direction and growth, Steve built a world-class management team focused on execution. Raising $28 million in three rounds of funding allowed the team to build a broad portfolio of services combined with the largest global distribution footprint in the managed messaging space. The growth and accomplishments in that timeframe led to the successful sale of the company to Microsoft in August 2005. Steve has more than 20 years of business-building experience, specifically in the areas of corporate finance, sales, marketing and technology. Prior to FrontBridge, Steve was a cofounder and executive vice president of Voyus, a recurring revenue IT services company based in Vancouver, B.C.
