John Feldcamp, Partner/CEO

John has spent his career building and managing content-focused services operations. After graduating from the University of Toronto in the 1980s, John spent several years in Japan deploying and managing digital publishing operations for OKI Electric, a major Japanese electronics company. In 1992, he moved to the US and founded a digital publishing subsidiary for the same firm. In 1997, John left OKI and co-founded Xlibris Corporation, a self-publishing services company.

With capital from Random House Ventures and others, John built Xlibris into a $20 million, 20% EBITDA operation publishing thousands of titles annually. After overseeing the sale of Xlibris in 2009, he and Angela Wood purchased MRT and renamed the firm Babbletype. At Babbletype, John focuses on designing and operating processes for highly efficient, large scale, low cost, reliable content delivery.

Angela Wood, Partner/COO

Angela is a services industry veteran with a lifetime of experience in financial, operations, marketing and sales management. Her magna cum laude Widener University degree in tow, she spent her first seven years in the advertising industry; managing, analyzing, and providing support for the Weightman Group, a full-service advertising agency in Philadelphia, PA.

After a failed pitch by Weightman to land the ad business of a newly created Phila. publishing startup named Xlibris in late 1999, Angela independently auditioned and subsequently joined the Xlibris management team in Finance. For nearly a decade after processing the first $10M financing (one of her first phone calls in the new role), she and her team fought for growth and profitability until reaching the $20M milestone and selling. The market research transcription industry soon called, and in 2009, we answered. Babbletype was born.

Babbletype allows Angela to do what she loves the most: balance profitability while steadily growing client-side value. Learning what our customers need, whether they know it or not, then interpreting that so our design lab (John’s brain) can create and deploy solutions that stick. She is a former president of the Market Research Association (MRA)’s Phila. chapter, and an energetic contributor to various other market research organizations.
