Senior🎓
Top SchoolShane Saxon is a serial founder and technology visionary with 11+ years of focused experience building interdisciplinary systems that bridge data, visualization and biosphere-scale insight. As CEO and founder of GaiaViz and president of Saxon Digital, he designs large-scale visualization and R&D solutions—ranging from hyperspectral imaging and Neural Physics Engine prototypes to HD over-IP broadcast systems—that have supported startups, media events and scientific labs. His background includes early precision biophysics work at UC Berkeley (Angstrom-level control in laser tweezers) and leading AV for marquee events like TED and Google I/O, reflecting a rare mix of lab-grade engineering and live-production craftsmanship. Driven by systems thinking influenced by Buckminster Fuller and global action thinkers, he focuses on harmonizing civilization with the biosphere through actionable visual analytics. An underappreciated strength is his knack for turning retained IP across decades into bespoke deployments and white-label opportunities.
