Former Disney Exec Kim Porter Joins Mad Mobile as VP Digital Innovation and User Experience

A creative leader at Disney Consumer Products for more than 5 years, Porter was most recently in the R&D Division of DCP where she was creative lead on the product innovation team. Her main focus was on concepts and prototyping for digital/physical, licensed products, and media, as well as overall creative and technology exploration.

While at Disney, Porter has three U.S. patents pending for unique digital experiences that will soon be released. Porter also received numerous awards from Disney including a nominee for a "Best of Disney" Innovation Award and three Disney Inventors Awards.

She will be bringing these innovative experiences to top retailers including Talbots, Book-A-Million, and Ashley Furniture. The Concierge solution empowers store associates and customers with mobile access to retail system data, which can be displayed on mobile devices or in-store digital screens such as smart mirrors, to enhance the shopping experience and convert more sales.
