Background 27.03.2025 Six experienced executives have entered the startup arena, taking on C-suite roles where they will apply their expertise to drive growth both in Switzerland and internationally. These companies specialize in cutting-edge solutions, including tracking technology for 3D spaces, digital health innovations, and tools for improving code quality and security. Sensoryx has appointed Alberto Calatroni to the position of Chief Technology Officer (CTO). The Swiss startup develops and licenses motion tracking infrastructure for spatial computing, extended reality (XR), simulated reality and motion capture. Their patent-protected technology seamlessly integrates optical, ultrasonic, and inertial sensors to deliver unmatched precision and interactivity. This power-efficient technology works with any modern head-mounted display (HMD) without requiring hardware modifications. With Alberto, the company has added an expert in motion tracking to its team. With a passion for problem-solving and a deep background in machine learning, circuit design, and sensor technology, Alberto’s journey has taken him from ETH Zürich to Politecnico di Milano, through pioneering projects at iHomeLab - Research Center for Building Intelligence and Bonsai Systems. His expertise in optical, ultrasonic, and inertial tracking helps bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world applications. Two executive appointments at Sonar Sonar , the leader for integrated code quality and code security solutions, has expanded its executive team with Jean Compeau as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), who brings over 30 years of extensive experience in finance and strategic business in the tech industry, with deep expertise in scaling and leading high-growth companies. As the Deputy CFO of global cybersecurity leader Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), she played a key role in scaling the company’s growth from $255M to $7B in revenue, including successfully executing and integrating over 25 acquisitions. Eyal Ben David , the new Chief Legal Officer (CLO) and General Counsel is a seasoned legal executive, with a strong background in scaling global legal teams and advising on public company securities matters and corporate governance. Eyal previously spent 8 years as General Counsel at JFrog (NASDAQ: FROG), the global developer tools leader that helps to automate DevOps, SecOps, and IoT organizations, enabling continuous and fast software updates. At JFrog, he played a key role in helping to rapidly scale, navigate several acquisitions, and successfully IPO in 2020. Both Jean and Eyal will be relocating to Austin, Texas, as part of Sonar's rapidly expanding presence in this key tech hub. Sonar’s growing Austin office complements its rapidly growing presence in Geneva, London, Bochum, and Singapore.
