Larry Kavanagh
CEO, Co-Founder
Read Bio

As CEO and Visionary at NaviStone, Larry spends a lot of time working on the big stuff: big relationships, big ideas and solving big problems. Appropriately, he spends his web browsing time on big idea websites such as fivethirtyeight.com, washingtonpost.com and npr.com. He also finds time for fun on mlb.com and “Bad Lip Reading” on youtube.com. How and when does a busy CEO find time for browsing at all? Early in the morning or late at night, always on his iPhone.

As NaviStone’s CFO, Efrain has some serious responsibilities to keep our financial house in order. Financial reporting, cash management, forecasting and employee benefits management are just some of the things that might keep him up at night. And since he is up, he can often be found browsing on his iPhone late at night, looking at sites like cnn.com, nytimes.com and npr.com. But Efrain also has a social side as well, as evidenced by time spent on nextdoor.com and facebook.com.

When Cheridy isn't simplifying the complexities that come with operating a high-growth technology company, she can be found cooking for her family on the weekends, playing ball with her Doberman (Dober girl), in search of the best Bubble Tea with her daughter and traveling to new places and absorbing the culture. Later at night she can be found on her Samsung S20+ browsing sites like CNN, The Discoverer, New York Times, Amazon and Google to stop her brain from thinking so she can fall asleep.

Like any effective VP of Marketing, Megan spends much of her time at work multi-tasking: content development, event management, branding and lead generation, etc. In her free time, however, she is quite focused, soaking up every minute she can with her husband and children in their beautiful state of Colorado. When the house is quiet, Megan does some website browsing on her mobile device checking in on sites like amazon.com, Instagram or listening to podcasts.
