About Jim Kovarik
I enjoy building great teams that accomplish extraordinary results, especially with products and services that are innovative, consumer-facing and that leverage the Internet and/or smartphones to upset the balance of traditional industry structures. Emphasizing speed and resourcefulness, I work best in constrained entrepreneurial environments that are fast-paced and encourages risk-tasking through a leveraged reward structure.On a personal note I enjoy running, painting, spending time with my wife and son (an Eagle Scout!) and playing guitar (badly).Currently educating the world about tolls through Tollsmart, LLC. Some things I\'ve built or helped to build in the past:Tollsmart: A mobile-first company that is disrupting the $13 BN US tolling industry.The Galculator: An innovative fuel cost calculator now used by over travelers each month and growing organically at 50% per-year. You can check it out on Friends: As a consultant for TripAdvisor created the product vision for the deep integration of Facebook on TripAdvisor.com. Facebook featured it in their S-1 registration statement.Prior to this I spent nearly ten years at AOL building consumer facing web experiences, most recently as General Manager of AOL travel where I rebuilt it into one of the fastest growing travel sites.
