LUND, Sweden - February 3th, 2016 – Anoto Group AB has today announced the appointment of Brett Halle as Corporate Strategic Advisor. Halle joins the Anoto team having spent the past four years as SVP of Engineering at Livescribe, which was acquired by Anoto. Previously, Halle spent more than 20 years at Apple as Senior Director of Engineering on a number of products and technologies. In this role at Anoto, Halle will provide counsel on a variety of technical and business operations across the organization.
“Brett’s time at Apple and Livescribe showed him to be a very astute, business-oriented technologist and his counsel will be invaluable” said Stein Revelsby, CEO of Anoto. “His experience in the areas of IP development and innovation brings valuable knowledge and capabilities to the Anoto team and I’m very pleased that he has joined us.”
While at Livescribe, Halle managed the company’s software and hardware engineering teams and was responsible for driving product strategy, development and integration.
