We are excited to announce that Marty Evans has joined Kalogon as our first chief technology officer. Evans brings more than 25 years of experience designing and shipping consumer hardware at Microsoft, Meta, Magic Leap and HP, and he'll lead our engineering and product development teams as the we bring smart seating technology to more people who spend hours in a seat, from wheelchair users to pilots and passengers.
Evans began his career as a U.S. Air Force avionics technician, maintaining F-16 and F-117A stealth fighters. After earning his electrical engineering degree with top honors, he entered the consumer electronics industry in 1999. At Kalogon, Evans will shape our technology and lead engineering ex*****on from concept through production as we grow into new markets.
"Joining Kalogon feels like coming full circle, getting closer to the technology again while applying the same principles of empathy-driven design to a new sector. In AR, we explored ways technology could extend someone’s abilities, from helping someone follow a conversation in a noisy room to making visual information easier to see. Adaptive seating calls for the same mindset – understanding what each person needs, then using hardware and thoughtful design to improve their daily experience. Finding a team of passionate engineers, makers and tinkerers doing exactly that, right here in Melbourne, felt like a match made in engineering heaven." - Marty Evans
