After building the underlying infrastructure for devices at Amazon Go stores, Fire TV, Kindle, and Alexa, Esper Co-Founder and CEO, Yadhu Gopalan began to ask, "Why can’t I build this once and enable enterprises of all sizes to use it?" That’s when Yadhu joined forces with Shiv Sundar to create Esper. Both spent decades of their careers at the intersection of hardware and software and have shipped a combined 100 million devices globally. This created the perfect scenario to craft an evolutionary tool for enterprises, small and large — the next-gen device management that company-managed hardware has been missing.
Esper’s Leadership Team has the experience and commitment needed to solve complicated enterprise device problems. From chip to cloud, infrastructure to devices, and everything in between, our decades of collective experience are the foundation of how we build next-gen device management for enterprises of all sizes.
