About Wolfgang Muller

Wolfgang Muller's career journey began right after college when he faced the challenge of finding a path that would lift him out of financial hardship. Though he had the option to dive into finance with LaSalle Bank, Wolfgang opted for the thriving field of telecom sales due to its promising prospects. Now, a tech industry veteran with over 20 years of experience, notably at HTC, where he served as Global VP and President of Connected Products. He played a key role in establishing HTC's North American retail channel, partnering with major retailers like Best Buy, Amazon, and Target to generate billions in revenue.

Following his success at HTC, Wolfgang became the Global VP of Sales for Essential Products, a startup founded by Android creator Andy Rubin. His journey in Silicon Valley began with humble beginnings, including sleeping on a blow-up mattress as he built his career.

An alumnus of Stanford Graduate School of Business, Wolfgang is now a co-founder, CMO, CEO, and Board Director for two startups, with a third venture in development. His passion for innovation and entrepreneurship drives his mission to create impactful solutions in the tech landscape.
