Eric Donzier launched OpenField Technology in 2011 following 20 years as a results-driven technology leader in the energy sector. Seeing the Oil&Gas industry’s need for innovative technology, Eric launched OpenField with a vision of making the latest developments in micro sensing technology work in the harsh downhole conditions of oil and gas wells. Prior to launching OpenField, Eric successfully held executive research and management positions in France, the UK and the United States with Thales and Schlumberger. In 2004 Eric launched MEMSchlumberger, an independant research and development subsidiary of the market leader Schlumberger and directed the venture until his move to OpenField in 2011. His career has been characterized by innovative product development and boasts numerous microsensing technology patents to date.
