Andy Bergmann Has Spent a Career Making Complicated Things Feel Obvious
Before he marketed software that untangles prior authorization, Andy Bergmann made charts behave like stories, turned 37 years of waves into a game, invented a four-ended measuring spoon, and gave a giraffe an orchard. The medium keeps changing. The instinct does not.
Steve Hoover
Steve Hoover is the CEO of Impossible Objects, the Northbrook, Illinois company commercializing CBAM (composite-based additive manufacturing), a from-the-ground-up 3D printing process that bonds carbon fiber and other composites into parts that are stronger, lighter and more heat-tolerant than conventional prints. A mechanical engineer with a Carnegie Mellon doctorate, he spent roughly two decades at Xerox, rising to corporate CTO and running PARC as CEO, before a stint leading RIT's Global Cybersecurity Institute and co-founding the art-recognition startup Artify.ai. He took the Impossible Objects helm in March 2023 to push composite 3D printing from prototypes into high-volume manufacturing.
