Shaun Johansen, brings a resume of success, vibrant energy and new ideas to the team
June 3, 2019 (Napa, Calif.)– VineView, the leading provider of vineyard remote sensing technology, is pleased to announce new Chief Technical Officer, Shaun Johansen.
Previously the Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer with Velo Industries (formerly Eyeball Inc.), Johansen graduated in programming from the Centre for Geographic Sciences in 1998. He has worked with a number of technology companies on multiple continents creating and optimizing software, from low-level computer graphics and server solutions to web architectures and operating systems.
The past two decades of Johansen’s career have included roles such as Senior Software Architect at Blackberry, Senior Software Architect with Viigo, Software Developer and J2ME Team Lead with Picsel Technologies, Software Designer with Razorstorm Software, and Software Developer with Plazmic Ltd and Novafex Software.
Johansen has also been instrumental in bringing two previous tech start-ups, where he acted as tech lead and invented or built the sought-after technology, to successful exits.
“Shaun brings vibrant energy and fresh ideas to the team,” says VineView CEO, Richard van der Put. “We are excited about the growth and progress we will be able to make together.”
