McLean-based MobilePhire acquired by California company
Summary
With the deal, the startup’s technology will become part of the product offerings of Mobilsense, which helps corporate customers automate processes for managing mobile devices, MobilePhire cofounder Chebem Chukwu said. Additionally, Chukwu and fellow cofounder Michael Zhao will be relocating to Los Angeles and joining Mobilsense full-time in executive roles.
