Alex Thompson

Alex Thompson is the founder of Mixed Signals Technologies and serves as president and chief executive officer of the company. Thompson's extensive experience in engineering and digital video processing crafted the vision for Mixed Signals' innovative product line.

With a background education in electrical engineering, Thompson began work in the film and television industry in the late 1980's, creating custom physical, optical and digital effects systems for film, TV and the developing multimedia industry. In 1995 Power Computing, a leading provider of computer equipment for video editing and digital effects processing, recruited Thompson where she played a pivotal role in the development and deployment of their high-end systems.

After Apple Computer purchased Power Computing in 1997, Thompson relocated to Los Angeles from the Silicon Valley, and founded Mixed Signals. Thompson was recently chosen by MIT's Technology Review as one of the nation's top 100 technology innovators, and is a noted and respected industry speaker.
