Leadership

Component Web Services has assembled an extraordinarily talented management team. Rarely will you find within a company's leadership the breadth and level of experience - real world experience - that we have at Component Web Services. Most have acquired a strong entrepreneurial spirit while at start-ups, as well as a broad industry perspective while at large companies.

Kevin B. Kimmel
President & Chief Executive Officer
Email: kevin@mailcws.com

Kevin Kimmel brings an effective mix of marketing, programming and management to Component Web Services. He’s spent the last 25 years working with clients in the pharmaceutical, financial, biotech and legal markets, helping them to develop their visions, create effective marketing tools, and integrate state-of-the-art technology into their businesses.

Involved in the creation of internet, intranet and extranet web applications since 1999, Kevin has watched site functionality significantly evolve over time. However, the tools for managing content never kept pace, still requiring a fair amount of technical knowledge for the average businessperson. Frustrated by the lack of a turnkey application that was as approachable as programs like Microsoft® Word, he decided to create his own.

Kevin’s vision of building applications with little to no learning curve that easily integrated within a company’s existing workflow became the genesis of Component Web Services. Today, the company’s browser-based solutions address the common needs of most businesses, regardless of industry — the ability to e-market by keeping site content fresh, without the involvement of an IT department.
