About

Carlos M Icaza

I have more than 20 years of engineering and management experience. I managed various teams at Adobe including Flash Lite, Flash Mobile Authoring, Flash Cast and Adobe Illustrator. I was also responsible for creating and developing Adobe’s entire mobile authoring strategy, now deployed across the entire Adobe Creative Suite.

I have shipped industry-standard products such as Flash Lite (deployed in over a billion devices), Flash Authoring, Adobe Creative Suite, Adobe Mobile Device Central, Adobe Illustrator, SVG, Adobe Pagemill, Micrografx Windows Draw, and Deneba Canvas.

In 2007 I co-founded and was the CEO of Ansca Inc, which makes the Corona SDK, a 2D game engine framework for creating apps/games for iDevices and Android devices from a single code base. I spent about a full year and a half going around Silicon Valley, specifically, Sand Hill road, meeting with top tier VC firms, raising funds for Ansca, , and successfully closed a $1.5 million series A round from Merus Capital.

Today, aside from being  co-founder and strategic advisor at Ansca, I am also strategic advisor for several startups and Fortune 500 companies. And I also do a lot of speaking engagements on entrepreneurship and mobile strategies.
