A serial entrepreneur, Jean Anne Booth has over 35 years of experience in high technology, and has raised over $100M in capital for her startup companies.

Jean Anne was previously the founder of Luminary Micro, the creators of the Stellaris® microcontroller (MCU) platform and the lead partner and first to market with ARM® Cortex™-M3-based microcontroller solutions.  Luminary Micro was acquired by Texas Instruments in May 2009, and was one of the top 5 venture-backed acquisitions in 2009.  Jean Anne retired from TI in 2012 after serving as the General Manager for TI’s Stellaris family of products.

 Jean Anne was also a founder at Intrinsity, which was sold to Apple in April 2010.  Her first startup experience was at Exponential Technology, the creators of a 533 MHz BiCMOS PowerPC microprocessor.  Early in her career, Jean Anne worked with AMD’s embedded microprocessor products for 10 years in a number of management, marketing, and engineering roles, and in R&D at Fisher Controls.

Her latest venture is UnaliWear, where focus groups have named UnaliWear’s Kanega watch a wearable “OnStar for People” because we provide discreet support for falls, medication reminders, and a guard against wandering in a voice-first, classically-styled watch.  Thanks to our patented quick-swap battery system in the band, you never have to take your watch off to charge. With both cellular and Wi-Fi on board, we supplement our active medical alert capabilities with artificial intelligence in the cloud that learns the wearer’s lifestyle – like a NEST thermostat, except for people – providing predictive, pre-emptive support. UnaliWear’s mission is to extend independence with dignity for millions of vulnerable people.
