Chief Technical Officer
Eric Vandewater has well over 25 years of international experience in the design, research and development of products for the high-tech and internet industry, including over 15 years in management and executive positions. He has hired, trained and managed development teams for various technology companies and has a solid background in delivering highly valuable intellectual property. His hands-on management style and unique ability to function effectively and productively on any level from executive visionary to software developer is perfectly suited for a startup company with a great product and even better potential.
For the last 10 years, Mr. Vandewater has served as the CTO for several startup companies, ranging from high-tech input devices to digital content protection. He has been instrumental in taking business models from conceptual ideas to highly effective, successful and profitable products. Thanks to his vision and expertise, startup companies with little or no high-tech expertise, no engineering resources and no intellectual property, were converted into major players in the industry. Often, Mr. Vandewater personally invented and developed all the core technology that formed the basis for unique and highly innovative product lines. Mr. Vandewater has traveled extensively in the US, Europe and Asia to build relationships with customers, suppliers and manufacturers. He has also worked closely with key partners like Microsoft and Apple to develop productive partnerships and develop essential standards. He has served as the technical representative at many board meetings, annual shareholder meetings and quarterly earnings calls. Mr. Vandewater holds a bachelor degree in electronic engineering and computer science from the HTS Kolhornseweg in Hilversum, the Netherlands.
