1) an expert or connoisseur

The term "maven" comes from the Yiddish word "meyvn," which means "one who understands." The word has its roots in Hebrew and has been adopted into English to refer to someone who is an expert in a particular field.

In modern usage, maven is commonly used to describe individuals who have deep knowledge, expertise, and passion in a specific area and who are recognized as authorities or influencers in that domain. Maven is synonymous with expert, guru, or aficionado in many contexts.

The term "netmavens" is derived from the concept of "maven," which refers to a person who is knowledgeable about a particular subject and who seeks to share that knowledge with others. In the context of the internet, a "netmaven" is someone who is highly informed about the building and operation of Internet networks, data centers and doing business online.

The NetMavens

Dave Siegel, Founder & CEO, NetMavens

I have been in the Internet Industry since 1992, when I founded RTD Systems & Networking, Tucson, Arizona's first dialup Internet Service Provider.


With over three decades (dayum!) in the tech arena, I've worn countless hats - from building IP networks both as a backbone engineer and a visionary business/product strategist, to innovating in product design, market positioning, and pricing tactics. I've even scaled complex networks with automation, and streamlined business and marketing operations.

I spent about two thirds of my career at Global Crossing/Level3/Centurylink. Initially starting as a backbone engineer, I quickly moved up into management roles and led the IP Engineering team, the Network Architecture and Long Range Planning team (across transport, voice and IP), and the Data Services Product team and P&L (a portfolio of over $3B a year in service revenue).

In October of 2024, Siegel Group LLC rebranded to NetMavens to help showcase our partnerships with excellent solutions partners, such as Kentik, FullCTL and Highlevel, as well as many talent consultants covering a broad range of categories and specializations.

Bear with us while we move our top-notch consultants from Siegel Group LLC into NetMavens. More coming soon!
