Dr. David Wong brings more than four decades of experience in building and leading communications technology companies. He began his career as a research scientist and was a member of the ARPA team that completed the first phone call over ARPANET in 1974 — a milestone that laid the foundation for modern internet communications. After serving as a scientist, professor, and technical manager, Dr. Wong co-founded Spectron Microsystems in 1987, where the company developed the world’s first DSP operating system. The technology later evolved into DSP BIOS following Spectron’s acquisition by Texas Instruments. In 1993, Dr. Wong co-founded D2 Technologies, followed by Connected Systems in 1997, a leading ODM provider of voice messaging and unified messaging solutions. In 2000, D2 Technologies was acquired by Virata, and Dr. Wong became Vice President of VoIP at GlobespanVirata, which later merged into Conexant.

Recognizing Asia’s growing importance in IP communications, Dr. Wong re-acquired D2 Technologies in 2003 and established its Taiwan branch to strengthen the company’s presence in the region. In 2016, he founded D2 Nova to develop and deliver next-generation SaaS communication solutions. Beyond his entrepreneurial ventures, Dr. Wong serves on the boards of several communications technology startups, including Trellisware Technologies in San Diego, a global leader in tactical and first responder radio technology. He also holds multiple patents in signal processing and IP communications and earned his BSEE, MSEE, and PhD degrees from the University of California, Santa Barbara.

David Lindsay has more than 30 years of engineering experience designing and building voice systems. Lindsay began his career as a technical member at Bell Laboratories. He moved on to hold senior engineering positions at Digital Sound Corporation and then co-found and become the vice president of engineering at Spectron MicroSystems. He co-founded and served as vice president of engineering for the original D2 Technologies from 1993 to 2000, where he was responsible for developing the framework, methodology and process for the company’s voice processing solutions. Following D2’s acquisition in 2000, Lindsay served as chief engineer at Virata/Globespan for its Voice over ATM and Voice over IP software before helping restart D2 Technologies as the CTO in 2003. He also co-founded D2 Nova in 2016 where he currently serves as the CTO. Lindsay holds several patents in voice processing and VoIP. He holds an MSE from the University of Michigan and a BSEE from Lehigh University.

Dr. Jon Wu has more than 20 years of experience designing software products and leading engineering teams. Dr. Wu worked at the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) Computer Communications Research Lab (CCL), where he was responsible for the development of 3GPP RLC/MAC technologies and mobile multimedia applications. At ITRI he authored more than 10 patents and received an outstanding research award for his distinguished work on mobile internet. He went on to become the department head of the networking business unit at INVENTEC, which developed a series of VoIP products for branded customers including Cisco, Netgear and Skype. He was the co-founder of Webia Technologies, which was acquired by D2 Technologies in 2011. Dr. Wu holds a BS in computer science and information engineering from National Taiwan University and a PhD in computer science from National Tsing Hua University.

Matt Randmaa has more than 20 years of experience designing, developing and managing the creation of signal processing and realtime IP communication software products. He has designed and optimized signal processing software in all aspects of Voice over IP, including echo cancellation, voice compression, packet loss compensation, jitter buffers, and tone/fax/caller ID signaling. Prior to co-founding D2 Technologies in 2003, he was the director of engineering for GlobespanVirata's (now Conexant) VoIP Software Group. He is an authority and established speaker on the topic of Voice over Packet software design, and has filed several patents related to VoIP. Mr. Randmaa holds a MS and BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of California at Santa Barbara.
