Damon Hougland

Damon feels privileged to lead a powerful team of engineers, architects, designers, and dreamers who will stop at nothing less than fundamentally improving the way we shop and interact online. They intend to make developers and merchants more successful than their wildest dreams! Damon is a geek to his core: He is co-author of three books on Java and wireless technologies, and has a passion for all technologies that are viral and disruptive. Before joining X.commerce, Damon ran PayPal X, the first truly global payments platform open to third-party developers.  Under his guidance, the new platform processed over a billion dollars for third-party developers and partners, with over 1,500 applications built by a community over 60,000 strong.
