Microvision Announces New Sales and Marketing Leadership; Experienced GE Manager, Ian D. Brown, Joins Microvision
2/7/2006 9:01:00 AM
BOTHELL, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Feb. 7, 2006–Microvision, Inc.
(Nasdaq:MVIS), a leader in light scanning technologies, announced
today that it has named Ian D. Brown, 43, as its Vice President of
Sales and Marketing. Mr. Brown will lead the new Sales and Marketing
organization and focus on developing and driving Microvision’s growth
strategy in the Americas and Europe.

Mr. Brown joins Microvision from GE Healthcare, a subsidiary of
General Electric, most recently serving as the America’s Sales and
Marketing Manager for its $100M+ Nuclear Medicine unit. Over the past
few years, Mr. Brown has been responsible for defining and executing
the “go-to-market” and commercialization strategies for Nuclear
Medicine products in the Americas. Mr. Brown has been instrumental in
three major product launches of Nuclear medicine cameras, the most
recent being a small footprint product for cardiac imaging.

A significant part of Mr. Brown’s 16-year career at GE Healthcare
was spent in Europe, helping to lead the European deployment of its
“At the Customer for the Customer” projects, using Six Sigma
methodology to proactively analyze and implement process gains in
clinical environments for patient comfort and departmental efficiency.
Mr. Brown held Six Sigma roles as a certified Blackbelt and Master
Blackbelt.

“We are very pleased to add Ian’s experience and proven leadership
to our sales and marketing team,” said Microvision President & CEO
Alexander Tokman. “During his distinguished career at GE, Ian has
consistently shown the ability to define, lead and work with numerous
cross-functional business teams to drive execution and quality
throughout the organization. His customer centric marketing, sales and
Six Sigma skills and healthcare experience will allow him to drive
synergies across our new combined sales and marketing organization,
strengthen our customer focus and position us well for future growth
into the new market segments.”

“I have been privileged to work with many exceptional people at
GE. Leaving a company that excels at technology and process structure
was not an easy decision,” stated Brown. “However, Microvision is
poised to bring a variety of breakthrough product solutions to the
industrial, consumer and military marketplace and I am thrilled to be
part of that future.”
