Tom Fuke joins Global Immersion as Software and Systems Manager

We’d like to introduce you to the newest addition to the our team; Tom Fuke. Tom will be leading our Software and Systems department based out of our head office in West Sussex, UK.

Tom’s experience of more than fifteen years has seen him design and deliver high performance display solutions within the industries of simulation and visualization. He launched his career in 1994 at SGI (Silicon Graphics Inc.) after he was given the responsibility of leading the AV design of the original (and ground-breaking!) SGI ‘RealityCentre’ – this project was joint effort between SGI, SEOS Ltd, and Barco, and spawned a whole new business for SGI and some of its partners. After twelve-years at SGI, Tom relocated to Norwegian company, 3D Perception, where he worked in a technical sales role until joining Global Immersion.

Speaking about his appointment, Tom said; “I joined Global Immersion because the company excites me, and I have been really impressed by what has been achieved since the team began. The company has made it their business to deliver innovative solutions to some of the most imaginative and demanding customers on the planet!  I am thrilled to be joining such a great team of people, and I am looking forward to helping build on these successes and drive the business forward.”

You'll be seeing and hearing much more of Tom in the near future - watch this space!
