About

Steve Kilner, CEO, Principal
Kilnernet was originally formed as Kilner Media by Steve Kilner. The initial focus on internet marketing was expanded to include competitive intelligence services to aid in the crafting of internet-based marketing strategies.  The focus was further extended to business model innovation to incorporate Steve’s strong background in the combination of IT, internet technologies and business management.

Prior to launching Kilnernet, Steve ran the largest IBM Business Partner consulting company in the Bay Area for 20 years and authored several software products ranging from e-commerce to software cognition tools.
