Bio

A serial entrepreneur with two successful exits, Jean Anne Booth has 30 years of experience in high technology, and has raised over $100M in venture capital for her startup companies. Now on her fourth startup, UnaliWear’s Kanega watch has been named by focus groups to be a “wearable OnStar for People” because it provides discreet support for falls, medication reminders, and a guard against wandering in a voice-first, classically-styled watch. With a patented quick-swap battery system in the band, wearers never have to take the Kanega watch off to charge, and patented AI learns the wearer’s lifestyle to provide predictive, pre-emptive support to independent but vulnerable populations. Jean Anne was previously the founder of Luminary Micro, the creators of the Stellaris® microcontroller (MCU) platform and the lead partner and first to market with ARM® Cortex™-M3-based microcontroller solutions. Luminary Micro was acquired by Texas Instruments in May 2009, and was one of the top 5 venture-backed acquisitions in 2009. Jean Anne retired from TI in 2012 after serving as the General Manager for TI’s Stellaris family of products. Jean Anne was also a founder at Intrinsity, which was sold to Apple in April 2010. Her first startup experience was at Exponential Technology, the creators of a 533 MHz BiCMOS PowerPC microprocessor. Early in her career, Jean Anne worked with AMD’s embedded microprocessor products for 10 years in a number of management, marketing, and engineering roles, and in R&D at Fisher Controls. Jean Anne holds a BSEE from the University of Texas and an MSCE degree from National Technical University.
