Naveen Jain Reaches out to the Community Using Intelius
Entrepreneur and business manager Naveen Jain co-founded Intelius Incorporated. He is currently the Chief Executive Officer of the company. A native Indian born in 1959, Jain started accomplishing his goals when he departed from New Delhi, with a college degree in Engineering at the Roorkee Indian Institute of Technology, and traveled to the United States. That was where he discovered the Information Technology industry.
He landed a job at Bill Gates’ Microsoft company in 1989. Here, Jain shortly became one of its senior executives. When he left Microsoft in 1996, he established InfoSpace Inc. that same year. He was the chief executive officer of the web-based content company between 1996 and 2000. Later in 2002, he left InfoSpace but continued as a board member until June of 2005.
In January 2003, Naveen Jain founded Intellius Inc., a business that provides a wide range of information-based products and services that includes identity theft protection and background reports. Using a massive network, the company gathers information about individuals from public sources and uses this to present to its clients comprehensive reports that can be used for security purposes, employment screening, and identity checks. The services can be used to reunite clients with long-lost relatives and/or loved ones and to provide security for their businesses and other assets.
Naveen Jain’s work ethic is a strict one. He brings his work with him even when he is on vacation with his family. In fact, at one time, given his 20-hour work routine, he was labeled as a “fireball of energy.”
Apart from tracking everyday goings-on at Intelius, Naveen Jain also takes part in numerous humanitarian endeavors. Together with his wife, Jain put up a scholarship fund for Computer Science and Computer Engineering majors at the University of Washington.
