Senior Staff
With over 20 years of experience in the software engineering field, a Computer Engineering degree from RIT specializing in digital signal processing techniques, and a bold passion for using agile project management to deliver technology solutions, Jaimie Cole leads a team of highly-talented and highly-motivated technology professionals at iCardiac. His direction and leadership has ushered in fresh methods for efficiently and effectively delivering validated software (e.g. COMPAS), systems, and technology for growth and scalability on the cutting edge of cardiac safety technology. Little known fact about Jaimie: Jaimie is an accomplished musician and entertainer, most notably as the former lead guitarist for Rochester's own "Nik and the Nice Guys," a well-known local musical group which has performed on TV and at major sporting events such as the Super Bowl.
Prior to iCardiac Technologies Mr. Jones had an eighteen year career at Eastman Kodak Company (EK), a leader in imaging products and services. During his tenure at Kodak, he was a Product Quality Lead and a Software Testing Engineer focusing on the commercialization of innovative and challenging new imaging products. He participated on numerous project teams across a wide variety of technologies and business divisions – including multiple consumer products and business applications, a post-production digital special effects system, and medical devices. While in the Health Imaging division, he was responsible for the successful software validation of the initial and subsequent versions of a Computed Radiography System, and participated in the initial commercialization of a Digital Radiography System, a Medical Modality Printer and Thermal Processor, and a Digital Cardiology System. Mr. Jones received his Bachelors Degree in Computer Science from Hofstra University, and is a member of the Association for Software Testing (AST) and the American Society for Quality (ASQ).
Previous to iCardiac Technologies, Anna worked within the Project Management division of VirtualScopics, Inc. (VSCP), a leading developer of image-based biomarkers for improving pharmaceutical development. She served as a lead in planning, implementation, and management of VirtualScopics services for key accounts such as Pfizer. Her trial experience at VSCP ranges from pre-clinical to clinical, as well as standard efficacy studies and several methodology studies. Additionally she also focused on business development, process improvement to gain operational efficiencies, and training of new staff. Her therapeutic area experience in clinical trials includes Oncology, Neurology, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Cardiac Safety. Anna’s early career included positions in small and medium sized Silicon Valley technology companies, such as Legato Systems and Isonics. Anna has served as a curriculum adviser to the Center for Bioscience Education and Technology at the Rochester Institute of Technology. She received her B.A. in Psychology, cum laude, from Boston University. Anna is an avid outdoors adventurer with a passion for running, kayaking and road cycling.
Robert Sokolowski joined iCardiac in 2009 to head the Personalized Cardiac Safety Division with the mission to commercialize diagnostic tools incorporating the company’s advanced ECG biomarkers. Prior to joining iCardiac Dr. Sokolowski was an executive at CardioMag Imaging (CMI) for 7 years, responsible for clinical research, global sales and marketing, and regulatory clearance of a biomagnetic cardiac diagnostic device called a magnetocardiograph. Always ready to roll up his sleeves, he installed six systems, including 3 in China where he also set up a large service and calibration center to support the growing installed base. Robert came to CMI from Intermagnetics General Corporation where he spent 2 years as VP of Market Development, and 4 as VP and General Manager of a subsidiary that produced half of the world’s superconducting MRI wire. Dr. Sokolowski’s early career was spent developing and commercializing amorphous metals and high-temperature superconductors for energy-efficient electrical devices, but his role at NASA around 1990 as Program Scientist for several international Spacelab missions devoted to Microgravity Materials and Life Sciences research turned his interest toward the life sciences. He has appeared on cable television as a co-anchor of NASA’s Today in Space program during two NASA missions and testified before Congress on behalf of the DOE National Labs. Dr. Sokolowski received his PhD in Materials Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and his MBA from Fairleigh Dickinson University. He is the first person to graduate from RPI with a degree in German Literature, a logical consequence of his 2-year exchange study at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland. Dr. Sokolowski also speaks Mandarin Chinese and Japanese.
