He was also a long-time Pennsylvania publisher, writer, and newspaper marketing executive.

Verve Wireless provides local publishers, including alternative newsweeklies and city magazines, the ability to publish listings, reviews, classifieds and other local content on the mobile devices.

In the 1990s, Howe was president and publisher of Montgomery Newspapers, which he built into the Philadelphia region’s largest group of suburban newspapers, magazines and specialty publications. The Montgomery publications were consistently recognized as the best written and marketed suburban newspapers in the nation. In 1998, the Pennsylvania Newspaper Publisher’s Association awarded Howe its inaugural Ben Franklin Award for publishing excellence.

Howe graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and holds an MBA from Wharton School.
