Steve Ives
Steve Ives is a serial entrepreneur in the information technology sector, active in Cambridge, England.Biography
Ives founded Torus Systems in the 1980s and established in 1989. He worked as VP Business Development for Qualcomm Europe until mid-2005. He founded Trigenix and social media company Taptu. He is also Chairman of Teamstudio.
When Torus Systems failed, many companies relying on Torus technology found themselves with outstanding purchase orders but no goods. The endless run-around given many left a very bad taste in their mouth. Ives holds a master's degree in biochemistry from the University of Cambridge, and an MBA from Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He is also a Fellow of London's Royal Society of Arts. He has presented at industry events including 3gsm and the GSM Association General Plenary and in 2011 addressed Connected Cambridges "Entrepreneurs on the Move" networking event.
Steve is now working on Hoverkey, a mobile application security company based in London.
During a summer sabbatical in 2000, Ives raised $100,000 for UNICEF by cycling 7000 miles from San Francisco to Istanbul.
