Bill’s first company, Amber Engineering, was acquired by Raytheon (RTN) in 1992

Bill’s first company, Amber Engineering, was acquired by Raytheon (RTN) in 1992, and focused on commercializing advanced military infrared technology by applying novel engineering and business practices to dramatically reduce the cost.

High resolution infrared sensors

In the mid-90s, Bill then launched and became the first CEO of Indigo Systems, another industry leader in thermal imaging technologies and products, and led the company through extraordinary growth (> $75 m Revenue in just six years) to an acquisition by FLIR in 2004.

Seek Thermal is Bill’s third company in the infrared thermal imaging space and perhaps the most unique. With a vision to bring the smallest, most affordable, high resolution infrared sensors to market, Seek is opening a new world of thermal applications useful in solving everyday problems.
