Rajeev Kapur 2015 FOLIO Honoree

Rajeev Kapur Top 100 Honoree - Up-and-Coming Trailblazers 2015 - Folio Magazine

Rajeev Kapur has been making big moves at 1105 Media since taking over in November 2014. In a surprise deal, he sold off the company’s education tech events to bolster the balance sheet. But within a few months, 1105 launched another event for 2016 and consolidated its marketing services under a new division, the 05 Group. Kapur replaced outgoing CEO Neal Vitale and was hired partly because he was an industry outsider. He was previously CEO of Sonic Emotion, a developer of 3D sound technology.
