Jim Dunn
Senior Business Development Advisor
Senior Business Development Advisor
Jim Dunn is an entrepreneur with over 40 years of experience in developing new technology for
electronic imaging and in crafting the strategic alliances necessary to make those products
commercially successful. He has a wealth of experience available to assist startups as well as
established companies with product development and marketing strategies.
Jim is the founder of Dunn Instruments of San Francisco, CA, the company that pioneered the development of the first commercially available film printers for capturing computer generated images, initially for medical images from modalities such as Nuclear Medicine and Ultrasound, and later for CT scanning and MRI imaging. The first images of Saturn that were captured by NASA's Pioneer Project were processed by the Dunn 631 Camera for subsequent printing by the publications, Newsweek and Scientific American.
In his present role as V.P., Business Development at Sound Vision Inc., he is responsible for supporting existing and new applications for the company's Clarity line of microprocessors. Jim created the private branding strategy that sold Sound Vision's first CMOS based cameras to established brands such as Vivitar. He also raised startup capital for Sound Vision by drafting and negotiating reference design agreements with CMOS sensor manufacturers such as HP, IBM and Conexant, along with software development agreements with Texas Instruments and Logitech. Jim took Sound Vision's Clarity technology to the Microscopy market and created a new market for the company with the SV Micro.
Prior to joining Sound Vision, Jim was Senior V.P. Business Development at Leaf Systems of Framingham, MA where he was responsible for launching the LeafScan line of film transparency scanners, earning the Mac User EDDY award for "Best Scanner" in the first year of production. Jim created the OEM strategy that resulted in signing Lintoype/Hell for one of many custom versions of the scanner. In 1992, Dunn also introduced the Leaf Digital Camera Back (DCB) at Fotokina and crafted the agreement with Hasselblad as their first OEM partner. He signed Mamiya and Sinar for their own versions of the DCB which are still being sold today. Leaf Systems was acquired by Scitex of Israel in 1992. During this period, Jim was named President of Advanced Pathology Systems Inc. in Mill Valley, CA where the DCB was used on a custom designed tomographic microscope.
Dunn was awarded a patent for inventing a medical imaging device that detects pulmonary disease using radioactive Xenon 135 and holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Marquette University. He is a member of the Society of Photo Instrumentation Engineers and has published numerous papers on new electro-optical products.
