Steve Cullen
Founder, President, and CEO (Chief Enthusiast Officer)
From its inception, Steve has been the driving force behind Mondo. With his experience in entrepreneurship, strategy development, general management, sales, marketing, and R&D, he has built Mondo from the ground up into the leading network of enthusiast communities on the web.
For the nine years prior to founding Mondo, Steve served in various capacities with Symantec Corporation, a multi-billion dollar consumer and enterprise software company. In his most recent position, he was Sr. Vice President of Symantec's Security Solutions Business Unit, leading a two billion dollar business and over one-thousand technology professionals. He was a member of Symantec's ten person Executive Committee which oversaw all strategic decisions for the company. Steve also held positions in product management and strategic marketing early in his career at Symantec.
Before joining Symantec, Steve was director of marketing for Concur Technologies, formerly Portable Software, where he was instrumental in establishing the company as the global leader in enterprise T&E expense management software. Prior to that, he held senior marketing and product management positions with Contact Software and Delrina Corporation, both later acquired by Symantec. From 1986 to 1991, he held senior sales, product management, and marketing positions with Micrografx, the first commercial Windows software developer. Throughout the early 1980s, Steve held retail, business-to-business, and vertical market sales and management positions at The Computer Store and Basic Computer.
Steve is an avid motorsports enthusiast and owns many cool toys including a Ferrari F430, #001/300 MV Agusta Corse, Ducati 749R, and a Yamaha Raptor 700R. In 2003, Steve created, sponsored, and managed an AMA Superbike team, ProMotion Racing. Under his leadership, the team took the top privateer spot at the 2004 Daytona 200 with a 4th place finish. He has attended many motorsports schools including the Bondurant Grand Prix Road Racing School, Reg Pridmore's CLASS motorcycle school, and Jason Pridmore's STAR motorcycle school.
Steve also spends quite a bit of time with his other enthusiast activities including astronomy, photography, consumer electronics, radio-controlled vehicles, home media & automation, and technology in general (you can see where we got some of the ideas for our enthusiast communities!). He also has a number of book concepts on the table as well as a motorsports television series under evaluation by major networks including Speed Channel and The Discovery Channel. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his beautiful wife and their three unruly dogs.
