Strom Elected to MicroVision Board of Directors

MicroVision Inc., a developer of ultra-miniature projection display and sensing technology, has elected Bernee D.L. Strom to its board of directors.

Strom holds 25 years of experience in executive management marked by advisory roles and board memberships at Polaroid Corp., Hughes Electronics/DirecTV, Benchmark Electronics, and other public and privately held companies. She is currently a senior advisor to Seattle-based investment bank Cascadia Capital and SkyLIFE Technologies, a company that disrupts and markedly improves the distribution of humanitarian aid and disaster relief. Gemstar/TV Guide International, now part of TIVO; Priceline.com; and USA Digital Radio, now HD Radio, are among the companies Strom founded or ran. Further, she was a founding partner of Revitalization Partners, a Seattle-based business advisory firm. Strom remains chairman and CEO of Strom Group, an investment, management consulting and business advisory firm focused on high-technology companies.

“Bernee Strom is a tremendous addition to the MicroVision board of directors with her background as a founder, leader and board member of many public and private high technology companies,” said Brian Turner, chairman and independent director at MicroVision. “Bernee brings a distinguished track record as an entrepreneur, mentor and business executive, and we look forward to her joining our board.”

Strom was named one of the leading business women of Washington with that state’s “Lead Where You Land” award. She is also the recipient of many other awards and recognition for her mentorship, entrepreneurship and leadership in commercial, educational and civic organizations.

“I am looking forward to joining MicroVision’s board of directors and working with my fellow directors and management at this exciting time for the company and its technology,” Strom said. “The scanning engine products for display, interactive display and 3D sensing, and the development programs the company has undertaken with major technology companies open up multiple opportunities to be part of emerging, high-growth markets.”

MicroVision is the creator of PicoP scanning technology, an ultra-miniature laser projection and sensing solution based on laser beam scanning methodology.
