Rajiv has led strategy and execution in numerous technologies for more than two decades, including mobile devices, wireless technologies, laser systems, digital imaging, stereo-vision systems and natural language processing technologies. He has played key leadership roles at Apple Computer, Adobe Systems, Interval Research, Regis McKenna and Symbol Technologies. Rajiv has also been a startup CEO twice before – at Tyzx, a spin-out of Interval Research Corporation focused on commercializing a ground-breaking vision technology and at Dejima, a startup that developed proprietary natural-language-understanding technology.

Rajiv also developed many entrepreneurial skills at several of his previous employers, including Symbol Technologies and Adobe Systems. As a Symbol Fellow, for example, he was responsible for evaluating and growing business opportunities based on novel technologies and product concepts. At Symbol, he also developed a major new business line based on a novel wireless technology platform, simultaneously recruiting a development team, developing prototypes and selecting “beachhead” markets. Earlier, at Adobe, he developed and implemented a strategy to significantly expand Adobe’s digital imaging business via new products, services and partnerships and recruited the required team to manage product, strategy and business development. He also forged agreements with several strategic alliance partners to develop and strengthen relations with major players in digital photography and negotiated agreements with several partners for complementary products and services.

Because of his pioneering work and skill as a photographer, Rajiv has been a presenter at various imaging tradeshows. He holds a bachelor’s degree, magna cum laude, in mechanical and aerospace engineering from Princeton University; a master’s degree in aeronautics and astronautics from Stanford University; and an MBA from Columbia University.
