Lincoln Popp, born February 12, 1974, was the brains behind the creation of two consulting firms in the Kirkland, WA area, serving from June 2004 with the first company, and currently in a leadership position post-acquisition for the second company. Lincoln led the first company, Akona Consulting through its acquisition and subsequent integration with iSoftStone, a Chinese entity. More recently, Lincoln started Radius Inc, and saw that firm through its acquisition to Luxoft (LXFT), at the end of 2014. He is currently the Managing Director of North America for Luxoft, and works out of the Kirkland office.

Born in Washington, Lincoln’s roots are deep in the Northwest. After attending the University of Washington, where he earned a business degree in Business Administration for Information systems, he went into the tech industry. Finding quick success, Lincoln found himself at Microsoft as a Group Program Manager at a fairly young age. It was after his time at Microsoft that he started Akona with one of his coworkers.

Lincoln enjoys the lifestyle and pace of living in Kirkland, WA, Seattle’s swanky east side beach community. Father to 4 children, he and his wife Tricia enjoy traveling the world, spending time on the lake during the summers, and weekends on the shores of the ocean down near Tacoma.

Lincoln hopes to retire at an early age and devote his time to writing, painting, and community service.
