In a statement today, Joshua Abel, Gravity Jack\u2019s recently appointed CEO<\/a>, has announced two personnel changes affecting key leadership positions within the company\u2019s structure, taking effect immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first announcement, made to the company\u2019s staff at its Liberty Lake headquarters, Gravity Jack\u2019s long time Director of Development, Shawn Poindexter, Ph.D., was promoted to the role of Chief Technical Officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Poindexter, a noted leader in software development with experience from mobile applications to high-performance scientific computing, joined Gravity Jack after receiving his doctoral degree in computational astrophysics from The Ohio State University. He joined shortly after the company\u2019s founding, in 2010. Over the last five years, Poindexter has served as technical lead and director of development on Gravity Jack\u2019s extensive portfolio<\/a>, including both commercial and defense industry clients \u2013 most notably Kraft Foods<\/a>, Boeing<\/a> and The United States Department of Defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In addition to his work leading Gravity Jack\u2019s development team of over 25, Dr. Poindexter has worked to co-author four patent applications on computer vision and augmented reality (two of which have been awarded to date), lead the creation of a computer vision algorithm for Boeing, directed the creation of an augmented reality<\/a> SDK and developed a unique, sonic ranging mobile application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second announcement of the afternoon, Pendergraf \u201cPenn\u201d Brownlee, was promoted to the role of Director of Digital Production, from Digital Producer. Under his new role, Brownlee will lead Gravity Jack\u2019s growing team<\/a> of digital producers, strategizing the company\u2019s direct relations with commercial clients on a daily basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brownlee joined Gravity Jack in May of 2014, with years of program management experience, after graduating from Eastern Washington University, Cum Laude, with a degree in Economics. Over the last year at Gravity Jack, Penn has overseen all aspects of the company\u2019s high-profile commercial projects while holding an instrumental role in the growth and selection of Gravity Jack\u2019s development team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both team members will be assuming their positions effective immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
