Joe Born (full name Joseph Born)

As CEO of Neuros Technology, and contributing inventor to many of its products, Joe Born has advocated on behalf of open source hardware and generally on the subject of connecting global teams and innovating in the electronics industry using open source.

Professional Accomplishments

In 1995, after receiving a patent for a CD repair device, later named the SkipDoctor, Joe Born founded Digital Innovations, LLC. With an original investment of $15,000 the company was created to commercialize the skipdoctor invention. Joined in 1996 by Collin Anderson, they brought the invention to market in 1999, and as of December 2007 had sold over 7 million units of the SkipDoctor globally.

In September 2001 the Neuros division was started within Digital Innovations to develop open digital media products. In December 2003, Neuros was spun off into a separate entity, Neuros Technology, LLC. Influenced by its developer community, Joe Born, as Chief of Neuros, has become a pioneer in the field of open source hardware, helping to influence many of its partners to become more open, including successfully lobbying Texas Instruments to release a free compiler for a previously closed Digital Signal Processor

Speaking engagements are typically focused on using open source to foster innovation and bring new products to market and include: Ohio Linux Fest, LinuxWorld, LugRadioLive, Various Linux User Groups & University of Chicago China Immersion program and Kellogg's Masters of Management in Manufacturing Program.

In addition to consumer electronics, Born has also received patents in areas ranging from internal combustion engine components to cosmetic accessories.
