Lunera (Santa Clara, CA): The company has appointed John Bruggeman as CEO to drive the company to be first-to-market with smart building services using the company’s patented plug-and-play technology that converts a standard LED lightbulb into an intelligent, IoT-edge device, which it says provides customers a total cost of deployment of less than 50-cents per square foot and fast deployment of sensor networks.
Bruggeman has decades of executive leadership at companies including AOL, Cadence, Lucent, Mercury, Netscape, Wind River, and most recently, as CEO of Traxpay, a privately-held B2B payments provider. He holds a master’s degree in mathematics from University of Connecticut and a Bachelor of Applied Science in Computer Science from San Jose State University.
