US Metrics outfit Kontagent has announced a new hire.

It's appointed Evin Levey as vice president of product, with a role to spearhead the company's kSuite platform across web and mobile.

"We are very pleased to welcome Evin to the Kontagent team," said Kontagent CEO Jeff Tseng.

"As social and mobile applications evolve, we know Kontagent will play a major role in helping our customers run more scalable and profitable enterprises. Evin and his team will be instrumental in determining how our products help our customers stay competitive in this fast-changing environment."

Stepping up

Levey joins from Google, where he's most recently led product development on Google Docs and Google Apps Script. The University of Dublin graduate was also involved with games physics specialist Havok.

"This is a very exciting time for social and mobile businesses, and I am extremely excited to join Kontagent," said Levey.

"Google Docs is a billion-dollar-a-year business, and I look forward to bringing my experience in helping to scale Kontagent to the same magnitude. Just like Google pioneered the web search space years ago, I believe that Kontagent is pioneering the way for businesses today to consume and act on their customer data."
