Scifeye LLC Establishes Management Team
Company led by experienced business, marketing and engineering professionals
Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) June 23, 2005 -- Scifeye LLC today introduced its
management team that will help market and commercialize the company’s
patent-pending Scifeye™ CMOS Imaging Sensor. The company’s technology, which
will be displayed at the 2005 Greater Cincinnati Inventor’s Fair, can be used to
solve a variety of asset tracking problems, including as a complement or
alternative to radio frequency identification (RFID). The management team
consists of Chris Komnick, president, Darryl Dieckman, vice president of
engineering, and an advisory board that includes Dr. Fred Beyette and Dr. Philip
Wilsey, two of the original designers of the Scifeye technology.
“Out of
the gate, it is critical that we have the right people and advisors in place,
and although we are a small team, we have started with the right mix of
business, marketing and technology expertise to help get this project off the
ground,” said Komnick. “Three of the original developers of Scifeye are part of
the company, and will continue to provide support as we work to introduce
Scifeye to the market and establish the appropriate partnerships. Scifeye has
been in development for the past three years, and has the potential to
significantly enhance current asset tracking and security monitoring systems. In
addition to a talented pool of potential employees, Cincinnati offers an
excellent proving ground for Scifeye, with a number of organizations that can
benefit from our technology.”
Komnick has more than 17 years of
experience working with various software and hardware technology businesses,
from startups to public companies. Prior to founding Scifeye, Komnick worked as
vice president of business development for Schema Software until its acquisition
by Apple in February 2005. From 1997-2002, Komnick served as director of
engineering and vice president of business development for Stellent Corporation
where he performed a wide-array of business development and strategic planning
activities for the company’s OEM technologies group. Prior to Stellent, he was
president of Group 42, a company he founded in 1994 and sold in 1995.
Komnick earned a bachelor’s degree from Purdue University, a master’s
degree in business administration from Miami University, and has completed
post-graduate work at the University of Chicago. He is a faculty member of the
Graduate Business School for the University of Phoenix and frequently serves as
a guest lecturer and mentor for both the Thomas C. Page Center for
Entrepreneurship and the Buck Rodgers Business Leadership Program at Miami
University.
Dieckman has more than 14 years of experience designing and
implementing complex software and hardware systems. He has a broad range of
electrical and software engineering experience, including VLSI design and
verification, circuit board design and layout, embedded systems development, and
architecting and developing mission critical enterprise software systems. Prior
to joining Scifeye, Dieckman played key roles in many development projects at
Clifton Labs, a Cincinnati-based electrical and computer engineering research
and development firm. For the past two years, Dieckman has served as the lead
engineer on the development of the PHOCI™ sensor, now owned by Scifeye. Dieckman
earned a bachelor’s of science degree in electrical engineering from the
University of Cincinnati.
Drs. Wilsey and Beyette, professors at the
University of Cincinnati, are Scifeye cofounders, and helped conceived and
design the current Scifeye technology. They will work as advisors to the
company, including helping with ongoing technology and business development
efforts.
