About the Person
Shawn Kernes is the former founding Chief Technology Officer at StubHub to help lead the charge to help forge partnerships with organizers, producers, venues, and brands involved in the production of these events. Kernes joins BuzzMob as its new CTO and will also oversee the development of its “revamped mobile app”. With Kernes now on board, BuzzMob has a 15 year veteran of the technology and development to help the company grow. His experience working at StubHub is most likely what caught the company’s eye and his experience in online ticketing for live events could prove invaluable. But it’s been more than 5 years since Kernes worked there — after eBay acquired StubHub in 2007, he spent a year within the company developing products to help the auction site’s agents worldwide.
