Tom Mariner

Tom has led or been on great teams that have given the video game, handheld game, microcontroller, auto electronics, and medical device industries. In the process of 400 embedded control and software/firmware products and nine patents, he has helped lay the groundwork and commercialized fields as diverse as speech synthesis and recognition, wireless and wired data networking, and artificial intelligence.

Among the “firsts” are technology for healthcare systems for countries, annual reports for the hotel and hospital industry associations, nationwide banking systems, monitoring systems for the US Telcom Industry, mainframe and embedded real-time operating systems, and the first use of Windows in embedded control development systems.

The past decade has yielded helping found, grow to nine-figure annual sales, and exit a medical device company that grew to dominate its market as the developer, manufacturer, and worldwide seller of medical imaging systems. He managed the relationships with the Imaging Divisions of Canon, Toshiba, Agfa, Siemens, and Carestream Health.

This has jelled the experiences into the determination, leadership, project management, and industry and regulatory knowledge needed to turn a great idea into a shipping product from a great company.

But the proudest results come from helping amazing team members organize, finance, create, support, and sell industry-leading technical products while getting them the rewards they earn.
