Interview: John Carney, CEO, Affinity Mobile

I had the pleasure of spending a few minutes last week with John Carney, former Senior Vice President of Sales and Operations at T-Mobile, and currently the Chief Executive Officer of Affinity Mobile, a global provider of mobile financial services.

John Carney is nothing if not passionate about the mobile industry. In this interview, he shares his vision for Affinity Mobile, and how their mission sets them apart from other companies in the mobile space.

Thanks to John and Cinco for inviting me to visit their new HQ offices in Plano, TX. It's going to be interesting to watch how Affinity Mobile impacts the mobile financial services piece of this industry.

Disclaimer: In the interview, I introduce John Carney as the co-founder of Affinity Mobile, when actually, he's the co-founder of Affinity Global Services.
