Steven Brimmer  President and CEO
Mr. Brimmer has been a global adventurer, explorer and innovator for over 30 years. In business, Brimmer spent the first 27 years of his career in the entertainment industry, first in television, then music and finally in motion pictures. During those years he was distinguished as a leader in developing technical advances in film and sound, managing studio operations at Lion’s Gate Films, The Walt Disney Company, and Meridian Studios. His inclination for innovation combined with technical knowhow was the ideal platform, and motivated his jump into the new technology sector of business.

After “retiring” from the entertainment business in 1999 he quickly moved to running technology companies in San Francisco, San Jose and Orange County, including developing the world’s first wireless digital camera, which transmitted photos to your home computer from anywhere on the globe; software that allowed “stitching” of multiple digital still photos together, to form a single seamless image, and of course SunCore’s world first light-powered charging system for mobile handheld devices.

In global exploration, Mr. Brimmer has led 7 alpine mountain expeditions around the globe, 5 to the Nepal Himalaya. In 1987 his expedition to Annapurna IV (24,688') made the first American team ascent by a new route direct up the north face. A route that has not been repeated since.

The utilization of his business and technology experience permitted him to see the entire market opportunity for profitable start-up business ventures, making him even more effective in the rapidly expanding technology sector of mobility devices. This quality was cultivated in the first branch of his career, thus making the two seemingly distant experiences congeal. He was inducted into the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences and participated with 3M Corporation in winning an Academy Award for Technical Achievement in 1985 for developing a new 35mm recording film which enabled such sound formats as THX, Dolby 5.1 and others in use today. He was also a past member of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, the Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences and The Explorer's Club.

Mr. Brimmer also has over 15 years of experience in managing venture capital and private equity financed companies both in entertainment and technology.
