Jeff Papows is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Maptuit Corporation.

Prior to joining Maptuit, Jeff was President and Chief Executive Officer of Lotus Development Corporation, an IBM Company. During his seven plus years with Lotus and IBM, Jeff piloted the development of Lotus Notes to its current status as the world’s leading collaborative platform. He is widely viewed as the key force behind the successful integration of Lotus into IBM. During his tenure, Lotus Notes grew 2,000% to more than fifty million users, and Lotus itself grew in support to more than 8,500 employees. Today Lotus has more than 78 million Notes users worldwide.

Jeff was also President and Chief Operating Officer of Cognos, Inc. where according to industry analysts; he converted a company plagued by red ink and institutional debt into a leading enterprise with significant cash flow and no debt, a significant secondary stock offering and years of profitability.

Jeff also held senior executive management positions at Cullinet Software and Software International in a career spanning nearly twenty-five years in the software industry. He has been named to Upside Magazine’s list of one hundred most important people shaping the digital age, as well as numerous similar awards. Jeff has been keynote speaker for Comdex, and a frequent guest of CNN, CNBC and Fox News, as well as numerous other conferences, publications and media programs.

Jeff authored Enterprise.Com: Market Leadership in the Information Age (Perseus Books, 1999). Enterprise.Com sold in excess of eighty thousand copies worldwide, was reprinted in the United States and ultimately published in several additional language editions across Europe and Asia.

Jeff is also a passionate, some would say, obsessive amateur athlete. He holds a black belt in Tae Kwon Do; but his real enthusiasm is channeled into the Equestrian sport of Show Jumping. Show jumping has become a great joy in his life and Jeff would say this is the only team sport without locker room speeches and playbooks, but the ultimate in teamwork where human and equine hearts are intertwined. Life after Cognos, Lotus and IBM has left with more time to pursue one of Jeff’s dreams. Jeff is a very competitive and recognized Amateur Owner Jumper rider on the show circuit in North America. Whatever he lacks in talent is eclipsed, like everything else that has made him one of this country's most accomplished high tech CEOs, in pure tenacity and commitment.

Jeff Papows has a B.S. in Biology from Norwich University, an MA in Human Resource Management from Pepperdine University and a PhD in Business Administration at C.C.U.
