About Timothy Sheehan:
Timothy Sheehan has always worked at the edge of technology and finance. Early on he ran product development and ultimately co-led Yahoo! Finance, the award-winning consumer site for financial information. Following that stint, he was tapped to be SVP & General Manager at Yodlee, the financial account aggregation engine that partnered with most leading financial institutions in the early 2000's. Later on, Timothy Sheehan served as SVP of Products, Marketing & Strategy for Fiserv, the institutional financial services conglomerate, for their Biller Solutions Group.
But Timothy Sheehan had the entrepreneurial bug from the get-go. In 2005 he co-founded Attributor, an online technology for protecting content owners from digital piracy, and served the company as VP Products until its successful acquisition by Digimarc. Then Timothy Sheehan started a company aimed at helping sales professional network their way into connecting with sales prospects. That company, Reachable, now has a social graph in excess of 100 billion connections.
And then, after being entrepreneur-in-residence at Georgia Tech's Advanced Technology Development Center for all of a month, Timothy Sheehan co-founded Greenlight along with Johnson and John.
