Intelius’ President
As President and CEO of Intelius, Naveen Jain runs an award-winning and lucrative company credited for making Americans feel safer and wiser in making everyday decisions. He also leads one of the biggest corporate philanthropists ever to rise in the Puget Sound region.
Businessman and executive Naveen Jain was formerly the project manager for The Microsoft Network, Microsoft Corporation’s very own online service, which later became predominantly known as MSN. As its manager, Naveen Jain facilitated the marketing and release of the service in 1995.
Nearly one year to MSN’s launch, Naveen Jain quit his high-flying position and staked his hopes on self-employment. The first business for Naveen Jain was InfoSpace. In its time, InfoSpace was among the best-known directory services in the Internet. Later on, it diversified beyond yellow and white pages into providing stock quotes, horoscopes, maps, and other web content to many preeminent websites.
More than six years to InfoSpace’s launch, Naveen Jain set out with another company, named Intelius. Intelius takes its name after its services, which are mostly aimed at providing intelligences to the common American.
Naveen Jain was massively rewarded for Intelius. In 2006, the American Business Awards honored Intelius with the highest honor for a new company, while Ernst & Young named Naveen Jain a finalist to its Entrepreneur of the Year award. The company accumulated several other accolades, including a nomination for Most Innovative Company at the 2007 Stevies.
Its products and services are the subject of many a critical acclaim too. For one, IDWatch garnered the Consumer Product of the Year award at the WSA Awards. IDWatch provides a range of solutions against identity theft.
Intellius has more to offer other than security compromise prevention. Intelius is primarily an intelligence services provider, such that it conducts background inquiries into an individual in behalf of consumers and companies alike. The company does this by accessing, if not personally researching, records compiled by American public agencies.
