Expert: #163 | Ian Maxwell |
My background was in Physical Chemistry, where I have a PhD, and was an academic in Australia and Holland. I later started the Sydney University Key Center for Polymer Colloids. Following that I went to a successful Water Treatment startup - Memtec (now Memcor division of Siemens). Following that I was head of Technology for James Hardie, a large building materials corporation. Then I was Head of Bus Dev for a Photonics Venture Group - Redfern Photonics. With their money I started RPO Inc - a leading developer of a novel optical touch screen technology for mobile devices. After RPO I joined an early stage venture group, and I am still a GP of two funds. I get a little bored sitting on boards, so in this role I have taken on a couple of management roles, CEO for BT Imaging in Photovoltaics, and Exec Chair of Viva Blu in water treatment technology. I have also consulted for companies such as Intel and J&J. For J&J I was part of a team that developed their new blood glucose...
