Influent | Technology in Motion

I have two exciting new hires to announce. The first is our Controller, John Mills. John brings 30+ years with HP as a Global Project Manager and Analyst for the Ink Jet division. John has extremely valuable experience through his time spent consulting and administering executive education programs. The second is Mike Fitzgerald, Chief Product Development Officer. Mike has spent her career at Tektronixs and was most recently VP and General Manager of Tektronixs’ Measurement and Accessories Product Line where she almost doubled the business in her four year tenure. John and Mike will be valuable assets to the Influent team, enabling us to bring our breakthrough technology to market in the most efficient and well executed manner possible.

Before I get into our current work, I must mention our team and the amazing resources that we have supporting our product development efforts. In the summer of 2007, three former HP executives located in Corvallis, Oregon formed SynnOps, LLC to act as Influent’s operations arm. They were greatly interested in the technology and wanted to take on a new challenge. This connection has only multiplied to include many Corvallis area engineers that ironically have skill sets that are extremely aligned with our R&D and product development efforts.

LPA30

Tim Lucas, our CTO, spent the majority of his summer in Corvallis, working with a team to create LPA30, otherwise known as Low Pressure Air 30. There has been an amazing amount of design wins that have benefitted from the development including small size, efficiency, life and multiple hot spot cooling. The finished device will shortly be in the hands of our sales team and in front of prospective customers.
