Mr. Weber will work with Chief Executive Officer Ehsan Agahi and the leadership team on corporate strategy, commercial priorities, strategic partnerships and market development as Illumisoft advances commercialization of its SaniLume upper-room germicidal UV platform and development of its SaniLux 216 nm far-UVC technology.
"Bill joins Illumisoft at the right stage in our development," said Ehsan Agahi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Illumisoft. "We have built a strong technology foundation, a growing commercial pipeline and relationships with globally recognized organizations. Our focus now is disciplined execution - putting our people, capital and technology where they will have the greatest impact. Bill brings the experience and judgement to help us do that."
Mr. Weber has more than 20 years of experience in corporate strategy, technology commercialization, new venture development and strategic transactions. He is the founder of StrategyScout and previously served as Director of New Growth Ventures in 3M Company's CTO organization, where he identified, evaluated and developed new technology-driven growth opportunities.
Earlier in his career, Mr. Weber served as General Counsel of publicly traded Cbeyond Communications, where his responsibilities included state and federal regulatory strategy and strategic transactions through the company's eventual sale. He holds a B.S. from the United States Naval Academy and a J.D. from the University of Georgia School of Law; he previously served as an officer in the United States Marine Corps.
"What attracted me to Illumisoft is its powerful combination of differentiated technology, early commercial validation, and a remarkably broad set of potential applications," said Bill Weber. "Our opportunity is not simply to pursue growth, but to be disciplined about where we focus our people and capital. I look forward to working with Ehsan and the team to turn our growing technology portfolio into a durable competitive advantage and long-term value."
