“Out of the gate, it is critical that we have the right people and advisors in place, and although we are a small team, we have started with the right mix of business, marketing and technology expertise to help get this project off the ground,” said Komnick. “Three of the original developers of Scifeye are part of the company, and will continue to provide support as we work to introduce Scifeye to the market and establish the appropriate partnerships. Scifeye has been in development for the past two years, and has the potential to significantly enhance current asset tracking and security monitoring systems. In addition to a talented pool of potential employees, Cincinnati offers an excellent proving ground for Scifeye, with a number of organizations that can benefit from our technology.”

Komnick has more than 17 years of experience working with various software and hardware technology businesses, from startups to public companies. Prior to founding Scifeye, Komnick worked as vice president of business development for Schema Software until its acquisition by Apple in February 2005. From 1997-2002, Komnick served as director of engineering and vice president of business development for Stellent Corporation where he performed a wide-array of business development and strategic planning activities for the company’s OEM technologies group. Prior to Stellent, he was president of Group 42, a company he founded in 1994 and sold in 1995.

Komnick earned a bachelor’s degree from Purdue University, a master’s degree in business administration from Miami University, and has completed post-graduate work at the University of Chicago. He is a faculty member of the Graduate Business School for the University of Phoenix and frequently serves as a guest lecturer and mentor for both the Thomas C.
