Founded by Chris Kohlhardt and Clint Dickson in San Francisco, California, Gliffy is the world's first net-native business graphics software.
We've committed ourselves to platform independent internet applications with rich user interfaces that make collaboration an easy and obvious part of your day.
But why the name Gliffy?
It comes from the word glyph, a symbol or character that imparts information non-verbally. Gliffy is an online diagramming service that helps users communicate with a combination of shapes, text, and lines. Doesn't sound so silly now, does it?
Executive Bios - The Leadership behind Gliffy
Cutting-edge web experiences are nothing new to Chris, but don't think for a second that dulls his enthusiasm for Gliffy. As our resident power-user, Chris keeps us all pushing toward a more visually-based world.
Before he became our fearless leader, Chris developed and deployed several other innovative web experiences. He gained insight into Rich Internet Applications as a member of Laszlo Systems' elite professional services group, Laszlo Studios. Prior to his work at Laszlo, Chris managed teams in high-profile web deployments such as Orbitz.com and Toyota.com. Check out his frequent blogs.
Contrary to speculation, Clint didn't develop Gliffy just to create golf course designs. His passion for engineering outshines even his golf fanaticism.
With over 10 years of experience developing world-class client-server and internet applications, Clint has led development teams for high-profile clients including Fireman's Fund Insurance, McKesson Healthcare, and BEA Systems. He has focused on creating multi-tiered systems with Java and developing rich-client interfaces built on portal architectures and Laszlo technology. Before joining Gliffy, Clint led development of the ColorSmart application by Behr.
