Gerry Hays, co-Founder, Chairman

Gerry is a visionary entrepreneur that helped pioneer the Interactive Apparel Advertising™ platform. When he’s not assisting AMG with strategy and execution, contemplating new ways to disrupt established markets, or regaling eager students at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business with tales from the front lines, he’s most likely spending time with his wife and kids in Carmel, IN.

Jared Golden, co-Founder, co-CEO

Jared heads up development and management of Apparel Media Group’s Network and team of Interactive Apparel Advertising™ experts. In his spare time, Jared proudly maintains his reputation as a terrible golfer and often talks about learning how to produce house music. Jared hails from Columbus, Ohio, which sometimes gets on Gerry’s nerves.

Amish Tolia, co-Founder, co-CEO

Amish leads business development, marketing and public relations initiatives and his alter-ego Amosh serves as Apparel Media Group’s resident Zen Master. Amish was once a talented Halo player, but these days he chooses to focus on international travel, reading and family in his spare time. Amish inexplicably maintains elite status with several airlines, has a knack for connecting with “unreachable” people and insists that pork is red meat.

Chris Molnar, Chief Technology Officer

Chris architects and oversees development of Apparel Media Group’s patent-pending technology platforms. Chris is a veteran technology guru with experience leading teams at Fortune 500 companies and successful startups. Outside the office, Chris champions the open source philosophy, aspires to direct an independent film, and is in pursuit of the perfect shot of espresso.

Kevin is a bona fide guru of software engineering who builds efficient, scalable products that work correctly the very first time. Kevin brings more than 10 years of experience in software development leadership to our team. Once, for a change in pace, Kevin earned a Masters degree in Artificial Intelligence and developed a ground-breaking suite of machine interface software. The rest of us are still trying to figure out why Kevin uses a wireless keyboard that is permanently anchored to his desk.

Dawn Pope, Business Manager & Director of Social Media

Dawn is the kind of dependable, intelligent and creative professional that every company wishes they could have on board. Dawn brings a southern twang to the office and makes sure we’re all on our best behavior. She wears more hats than Prince and makes them all look good.

Schwonzi, The Schwonz, Schwei…Matt has been an integral part of our team since the Fall of 2006. Matt’s sense of humor keeps us all on an even keel, and he backs up that lightheartedness with rock solid delivery. In June 2010, Matt will join Morgan Stanley’s Global Investment Banking practice.

Justin Menze, Executive Intern

Justin graduated from University of Iowa’s Tippie School of Business in December ’09. He’s torn between promising careers in Finance and Advertising, and we’re doing our best to keep him around.
