Capobianco introduced open source, open standards push email that benefits both carriers and mobile phone users.

Fabrizio Capobianco, a CEO who is not afraid to get his hands dirty, has been involved in all facets of building an innovative mobile email solution for the mass market. When the iPhone was introduced to the market last fall, it spurred a slew of mobile app development, causing Funambol to put out a call to their mobile community to help develop the world's first wireless PIM sync solution for the iPhone. Capobianco saw the inherent need for this capability and decided to lead the development of it himself, enabling Funambol to be the first to develop an open source driven contact sync solution for the popular phone.

Capobianco's foresight for seeing how a market can evolve and what popular trends will make a lasting impact has allowed Funambol to stay at the forefront of mobile innovation. He sits at the convergence of two markets: open source and mobile. He believes that open source software is really the only true way to deliver mobile email to the mass market because it is the only way to cost-effectively provide broad device compatibility. Respected by the industry as a thought leader and prolific blogger, Capobianco has made significant contributions to help advance the mobile experience for mass market users around the world.
