Northland Capital Call....

Heard some excellent stuff here.

I'm liking the way they're talking about markets, upgrade cycles, making money for customers, price points.... and product volumes. (7 figure and 8 figure product volumes.)

That coupled with acknowledging that there are limited companies that do this... ans we're working with all of them. (Specific mentions of Amazon, Google and Samsung's "Bixby.")


To make it easier to find....

Perry Mulligan in As CEO

I have great confidence in Mr. Mulligan. I have mixed feelings about this, but we'll see how it turns out.

I will not be selling anything.



MicroVision, Inc. (MVIS), a leader in innovative ultra-miniature projection display and sensing technology, today announced that it has named Perry Mulligan, a company director, as chief executive officer, replacing Alexander Tokman who has resigned as chief executive officer and director.
Mulligan has served as a director at MicroVision since January 2010 and assumes the role of chief executive officer (CEO) immediately. Tokman will remain as president through the end of 2017 to assist with the transition.
“Perry is very familiar with MicroVision, its vision and management through his seven-year tenure as a member of the Board of Directors. Perry brings a track record of success and a strong background in executive leadership, operational management and global supply chain design,” said Brian Turner, chairman and independent director at MicroVision. “Alex has worked tirelessly for MicroVision, and we appreciate his contributions, energy and commitment to the company’s success. We are grateful that Alex has agreed to stay on as president through the end of the year and to be available to support the company and Perry as we move forward.”
“I am very excited to join MicroVision as CEO and I look forward to carrying on the vision of the company and building on its success,” said Perry Mulligan, incoming CEO. “There are many opportunities ahead, and I am pleased that Alex will be available to help ensure a smooth transition, enabling the company to continue to execute on our business plan.”
“After a decade of guiding MicroVision, I have decided it is time to step back and spend more time with my family,” said Alexander Tokman, outgoing CEO. “I believe that Perry is the right person to take the company to the next stage and am pleased that he was chosen to helm the next era of growth for the company.”
Mulligan was formerly senior vice president of operations for Emulex Corporation, where he oversaw Emulex operations, including supplier management, test engineering, logistics, IT and facilities. Prior to Emulex, Mulligan was senior vice president, operations for QLogic, where he was responsible for all aspects of the manufacturing and delivery of products to the customer in addition to overall supply chain design and manufacturing strategy.
