Six experienced executives have entered the startup arena, taking on C-suite roles where they will apply their expertise to drive growth both in Switzerland and internationally. These companies specialize in cutting-edge solutions, including tracking technology for 3D spaces, digital health innovations, and tools for improving code quality and security.

Sensoryx has appointed Alberto Calatroni to the position of Chief Technology Officer (CTO). The Swiss startup develops and licenses motion tracking infrastructure for spatial computing, extended reality (XR), simulated reality and motion capture. Their patent-protected technology seamlessly integrates optical, ultrasonic, and inertial sensors to deliver unmatched precision and interactivity. This power-efficient technology works with any modern head-mounted display (HMD) without requiring hardware modifications. With Alberto, the company has added an expert in motion tracking to its team. With a passion for problem-solving and a deep background in machine learning, circuit design, and sensor technology, Alberto’s journey has taken him from ETH Zürich to Politecnico di Milano, through pioneering projects at iHomeLab - Research Center for Building Intelligence and Bonsai Systems. His expertise in optical, ultrasonic, and inertial tracking helps bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world applications.
