Chief Executive Officer

Mapbox is a platform for designing fast and beautiful maps. Its cloud distribution platform makes it easy to integrate location into any mobile or online application.

As the CEO of Mapbox, I coordinate product and business development. Our building blocks for developers power the maps that touch hundreds of millions people across every country in the world. These APIs help you find a coffee shop on Foursquare, get real time storm alerts from Weather.com, pin vacation spots on Pinterest, and collaborate on data together on Github. We’re building open source tools to change the way people move around cities and understand our planet. ​ I got my start in mapping a decade ago as a co-founder of Development Seed. We started off building open source tools for international development agencies to help them better leverage data. Back then it was nearly impossible to create interactive maps. Mapbox grew out of this need for a platform to manage data and design maps for mobile applications. ​ We've always felt that open data and open source are going to change everything. We've built in the open, released as much code as possible and invested in open source communities. ​ Hit me up on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ericg
