Nick Mehta
Chief Executive Officer
As CEO of LiveOffice, Nick Mehta's focus is on continuing to grow LiveOffice's market leadership in the software-as-a-service messaging industry. Serving in senior operating roles for public and private companies in the enterprise and consumer technology markets for much of his career, Nick has built a well-respected reputation in the email and messaging industry.

During this time, the business grew from $23 million in annual sales in 2004 to more than $200 million in 2007 and received recognition from ESG, Gartner, Forrester, IDC and Radicati as being the leading product in the "on-premise" email archiving market. Nick has also held other roles leading product management for all email-related businesses at Symantec and previously for CommandCentral, a suite of storage management solutions.
Prior to Veritas, Nick ran product management at XDegrees, a venture-funded storage software startup which was acquired by Microsoft. Before that, Nick cofounded his first business during college in the mid 1990s, a venture-funded online golf retailer called Chipshot.com that became one of the top 20 online retailers of its time. Most recently, Nick served as an entrepreneur-in-residence at venture capital firm Trinity Ventures.
Nick holds a Bachelor's degree in Biochemical Sciences and a Master's degree in Computer Science from Harvard University.
On a personal note, Nick loves watching football, playing (flag) football and coaching (fantasy football). Nick is a die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan, is married to another die-hard fan and is raising a new (2-year-old) die-hard fan. Visit Nick's Blog
