JANEL GARVIN
CEO / Founder
EVANS DATA CORP
Bio:
Janel Garvin is CEO and founder of Evans Data Corp. She founded Evans Data in 1998 to provide
actual data about software developers, their adoption patterns, intentions, and attitudes to
the software industry. Prior to Evans Data she was a Director of Product Marketing for some
of the industry’s most successful development tools from the leading vendors of the time including,
Borland, IBM, Symantec and DEC. She put together product positioning, messaging, events, and
advertising, and oversaw all aspects of the successful launch of top development tools.
It was during this time that she recognized a distinct and unfilled need for market research
focused on developers and Evans Data was born.
