CEO, founder, and owner of NeurGear
Jonathan Hacker
I’m a dual major in Biomedical Engineering (BME) and School Of Individualized Study (SOIS) with a focus on neurotechnology over at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). My… well let’s be honest, obsession going back close to 8 years has been preparing, researching, and planning for what we’re doing in NeurGear. Otherwise, I do indulge in a bit of manga or games when I can. My original specialty could be considered research, but I’ve started branching out into the more business and management aspect of things in preparation for our launch, that doesn’t mean that I don’t still do research though! I’m excited to be solely focusing on NeurGear for this, and hope to realize the vision!
Chief Operating Officer
Andrew Slegaitis
I am a biomedical engineering student at Rochester Institute of Technology. I provide a perspective to the company that focuses on the science and the safety behind our device. In my free time I spend time gaming as well as doing outdoor activities such as camping or hiking. I have become interested in neurotechnology because I find that we use our brains everyday and we still are missing so much information on all the Intricacies of it and to be a part of something that is enhancing our brain’s abilities is very exciting.
Chief Technology Officer
Stanley Stephenson
I have extensive experience developing products and production systems. My experience includes medical, opto-electro-mechanical devices, capital equipment development, test equipment development, cameras, displays, printing, MEMS and flexible electronics/displays. Lead 30+ development projects from customer and market requirements development to justified project plans to design of mechanical, electrical, optical and chemical systems through production. Extensive experience in manufacturing development, including new processes, manufacturing and test protocols and test equipment for demanding specifications. Extensive experience in managing and coordinating multidisciplinary technology teams.
Global Partnerships and Strategy Lead
Mozart Guerrier, MSW.
I am dad, social worker, and technology executive with experience working at multiple venture backed start ups that have been acquired. Much of my curiousity is focused on a deep belief that people can grow, develop, and expand if given the right environment and tools. From summer camp to board rooms, my career has been on advancing great ideas in positive psychology, appreciative inquiry through innovative technologies.

Chief Marketing Officer
Berke Ozyildiz
I am the Chief Marketing Officer of NeurGear. I graduated with an Economics degree from Instanbul University in 2021, but my interests also span design and neurotechnology. I’ve previously worked with various companies on their brands, leading creative sessions for their projects. As a BCI community manager, I’m excited to further my neurotechnological passion at NeurGear.
Chief Scientific Officer
Izzy Kohler
I am a neurotech researcher, mathematician, physiotherapist, and data scientist. Better stated, I am a neuro nerd, math geek, human performance junkie, and data nut with an insatiable curiosity about EVERYTHING and a fidgety need to tinker. My annoying addiction to finding facts, truth, and figuring out how everything works has molded me into the strange little person I am today. My time spent helping startup companies design and trial the devices that will, in time, change the world; is the time which I find most rewarding. It’s time to discover the miracles technology can achieve.
Mechanical Engineer and PR
Gina Liotta
I am a Mechanical Engineering student at the Rochester Institute of Technology. As an enthusiastic engineer, I’ve honed my skills to tackle challenges both in the classroom and out. I find plenty of ways to actively apply engineering to the real world. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was able to implement engineering in my field hockey play back in high school. To some, it may seem silly to apply engineering to a sport, but it allowed me to rebound powerful shots from my teammates into the goal. Other than sports, I used engineering to figure out how comic book fantasies could potentially exist in the real world… maybe not today, but eventually.
