Past OME Collaborators at Glencoe Software

Brian Jones came on board with Glencoe in early 2009 as Business Manager. His academic background is in the applied imaging sciences from the Rochester Institute of Technology back in the early 90’s. From there he went on to a number of research and commercial management roles in the optical, machine vision, biomedical and advanced microscopy markets. After many years in Melbourne Australia, he has returned to the U.S. and is now devoted to understanding and building the unique ‘Open-Commercial’ business model of Glencoe Software – ordained in perpetuity, if you will, by the OME Disciples and Jason Swedlow. Strengthening and expanding the Glencoe presence in bio-image informatics through insight, advice and support is Brian’s passion.
