Jill Tomich, co-founder and CEO of eBookPie, has a passion for helping startup companies grow. As the first Sales Director at O’Reilly Media she played a large part in growing O’Reilly from a fledgling unknown niche publisher into an internationally recognized market leader. O’Reilly was a small group of twelve geeks working out of an old tavern house in Boston when she joined, and the books were staple-bound manuals. She traveled the country convincing skeptical bookstore owners that computer books could sell, and several years of exponential sales growth proved she was right. She has since held executive level publishing positions with Digital Education Inc., DigitalMed, Sun Microsystems and Pearson Education. In 2007 she took over DZone.com’s dormant Refcardz program and built it into a major driver of DZone traffic. Now she’s focused on bringing eBookPie to the world. Jill loves cycling, fly-fishing, skiing, the New York Giants, pasta, and swimming out to far-off ocean buoys in Pacific Mexico. She now does her reading on the Sony Reader and iPod Touch, but is trying out the Astak EZ Reader Pocket PRO.
