George Searle
Chief Executive Officer
Prior to joining Lime Wire, George started, acquired, led, built and/or sold a number of new media ventures. He formed Mediaguide as a joint venture with ASCAP, where he developed and implemented an automated tracking system to help ASCAP better monitor, collect, and disburse payments to rightsholders while simultaneously expanding the royalty base. George co-founded ConneXus, where he created a revolutionary service that let consumers identify and purchase music they hear on ordinary radio using only their mobile phone. The service received critical acclaim as an important new e-commerce model for traditional media, entertainment and wireless companies. George orchestrated the acquisition of Swiss-based YES International, which he combined with ConneXus to form YES Networks, whose services make radio and TV interactive and social. As a consultant, George has helped other businesses conceptualize, develop and launch breakthrough technologies, products and business plans for online dating, social media and on-demand software. Prior to his foray into new media, George worked at two DoD think tanks, where he advised the Offices of the Secretary of Defense, U.S. Air Force and other agencies in the development, acquisition, test and evaluation, launch and operation of various national security satellites.

Jason Herskowitz
Vice President - Product Management
Jason comes to Lime Wire (and glorious NYC) via Washington DC, via Boston, via San Francisco, via Baltimore, via Atlanta, via Blacksburg (VA), via Washington DC. No matter how many times he laps the country, one thing rarely changes... his love of all things digital music and social media. He has held various lead and backup player roles in such notable acts as TotalMusic, AOL Music, MyStrands and Analog Devices. Less notable were stints at his own indie label (Prodigal Sun) and DigiScents. He has pieces of paper somewhere (possibly in the back of his closet, under his shoes) that claims he has an M.B.A. from University of Georgia and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Tech. Jason owns many musical instruments, none of which he has the talent to play.

Tom Lipinski
Building Manager
Tom joined LimeWire in September of 2007. Although he sits about as far from everyone else in the company (and under a gigantic fluorescent pig no less) he feels very much at home. He's trying his best to make this place a home away from home for everyone. Maybe he'll get one of those $3,000 hypo-allergenic cats he keeps hearing about for the office?

Jorge Mancheno
Designer
A New Yorker for most of his life, Jorge joined the team in August of 2006, making him one of the oldest among the current staff. Aside from his love for all things Apple, he also loves writing mean HTML, CSS and Javascript for LimeWire. Early on in his time with Lime, he somehow managed to rack up the largest number of losses in a single Super Smash Brothers Melee match, despite being an avid all around gamer.
-
Tom Monday
Director of Partner Relations and Marketing, Music
Tom joined Lime Wire in Winter 2007. Living proof that you can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy- Tom's a little bit rock and roll and a whole lot country. He'd rather eat a bologna sandwich with Loretta Lynn than haute cuisine with Lily Allen . Would rather sit at the bar with Johnny Paycheck than go clubbing with Justin Timberlake. His art education has had absolutely no relevance to his work for entities such as No Depression, The Stranger, Barsuk Records, and CMJ. He's thrilled to be here.
-
Anthony Roscoe
Design Lead
Anthony joined Lime Wire in the Summer of 2007 after graduating from Kent State University with a BS in Computer Technology. Before working at Lime Wire, he was the driving force behind bringing two well-known companies up to Web 2.0 standards and recreating their look and feel from the ground up. Anthony spent his college years running a freelance business where he built and ran several national band web sites while also creating the artwork for CDs, press kits, posters, and t-shirts.

Kelly Smith
Music Manager
Hailing from Orange County, CA, Kelly left all that was familiar and set off for college in New York City. Throughout her college years she interned for MTV and Virgin Records, her introduction to the music industry. Upon graduating, she worked for many labels in many departments (publicity, marketing and radio promotion). Finally enough was enough, and after escaping the doldrums of the major label world, Kelly became a lady of leisure and took a glorious 7 months off before joining Team Lime Wire on Halloween of 2007. During this hiatus she drank fine (ok, sometimes cheap) wine in Italy, got her passport stolen in Spain, swam with sharks in Belize, gawked at ships passing through the Panama Canal and played with a baby Sloth in Costa Rica. She also went to North Dakota.
-
Mike Sorvillo
User Experience Designer
Mike just wrapped up his Master's at Columbia University, graduating with a degree in Computer Science with a focus on User Interfaces. Prior to joining the Lime Wire team in January 2008, he helped to build a downloadable game for LEGO, and enjoys encouraging people to use it as a procrastination tool. Outside of work, Mike has an obsession with all things Italian and enjoys checking the Apple website to see new products, despite the fact that he's never been to Italy and has yet to buy a Mac. He has a penchant for creating awkward situations, laughing at really inappropriate moments, and considers himself to be the world's 6th best euphonium player.
