Mobility Effect offers end-to-end mobility professional services across all mobile application technologies, including native apps, HTML5 and mobile web. Its Enterprise Mobility Strategy engagements have helped clients such as Toll Brothers homebuilders and Salt River Project (SRP) utilities lay the foundation of their mobility programs. Mobility Effect CEO Michael Shea will join Mobiquity as Principal Strategist, expanding the Philadelphia office and reporting to co-founder and president Scott Snyder.

Villarreal will lead the Central U.S. team at Mobiquity. He previously served as Vice President Consulting Services for GlassHouse Technologies.

Founded in 2011, the company's revenues increased 600 percent over its first full year (2012), and continue to grow rapidly, with Q3 2013 representing its best quarter to date. Mobiquity's employee count is expected to reach over 300 by the end of 2013.
