Wade Roush9/2/10

Kate Imbach, long the vice president of marketing for Skyhook Wireless in Boston and a key leader of the Mobile Monday movement in the United States, is departing Skyhook to take on the same title at San Francisco startup 8tracks, an Internet radio startup where users craft and share their own playlists. At Skyhook, Imbach helped to promote the company’s location-finding technology for mobile devices; at the same time, she assumed a coordinating role for Mobile Monday chapters in Boston, New York, and Silicon Valley. “I will continue to be involved with Mobile Monday Silicon Valley and Matt Gross will continue to run with Boston,” Imbach said in an e-mail to Xconomy.
