Sven Brunner is a founder and CEO with eight years of hands-on software engineering experience who launched Sphere to redefine enterprise collaboration through XR, securing over $10M in funding and customers including Volkswagen, Micron, and Pfizer. He combines academic rigor from an M.Sc. in Information Systems with applied research experience at ETH Zurich and Disney Research to translate novel XR concepts into production-grade solutions. Sven has forged strategic partnerships with Qualcomm, Lenovo, Magic Leap, and AWS, positioning Sphere as a turnkey platform for immersive meetings, remote assistance, and holographic workflow guidance. Known for a bold, risk-tolerant leadership style, he builds teams that prioritize ambitious product bets and practical enterprise impact—reducing travel, improving security, and cutting supply-chain friction. Based in Bern and Santa Clara, he retains a developer’s curiosity (originally a C++ programmer) and stays open to experimenting with new languages and ideas as the company scales. His uncommon mix of deep technical roots and go-big entrepreneurship drives Sphere’s push to define, not follow, the future of work.
