Schwartz started his career in 1987 at McKinsey & Company in New York City. In 1989, Schwartz left McKinsey and moved to Chevy Chase, Maryland, where he was a co-founder of Lighthouse Design. In the early 1990s, Lighthouse Design moved to San Mateo, California. Eventually, Schwartz became chief executive officer of Lighthouse.

In 1996, Lighthouse Design was acquired by Sun Microsystems.[1] Schwartz became the director of product marketing for JavaSoft in 1997, and then transitioned through a series of 5 vice president positions.
