Help Wanted: VP of Product eyenetra.com from MIT Media Lab

I'm co-founding a company based around www.eyenetra.com, a radically low cost mobile eye diagnostic from MIT Media Lab that allows anyone with a smart phone and NETRA clip-on to take their own eye exam and receive a prescription for glasses. Our aim is to empower hundreds of millions around the globe by democratizing access to health care, starting with eye care.<p>We've presented at TEDxBoston, have been written about on NYTimes, Wired, FastCompany, and appeared on CNN, and have won first prize at Vodafone Wireless Innovation Project -- we are now ready to spin out of MIT Media Lab and get this thing to market!<p>I am searching for a VP of Product to lead on the product development. This is a key role in leading a technical team to convert our current prototype into a marketable product.<p>If you have 5-8+ years of experience, are passionate about radically improving how people get health care in this world, and fit the following criteria, please email me at drschafran(at)gmail(dot)com<p>1. Hardware+Software integration experience (not necessarily electronics or optics, more on the full product integration) 2. Consumer products experience (obviously mobile phone clip-ons would be most ideal) 3. Have successfully taken a prototype to market (especially in developing world) 4. Can manage a diverse technical team (ie software dev/UI design, industrial design, optics engineering, etc) w/ strong product strategy/vision<p>Position will be based in either the Bay Area or Boston areas.<p>David drschafran(at)gmail(dot)com
