Meet the Rendever Team
Cofounder/CEO
“I saw the negative effects of social isolation take a toll on my own grandmother as she dealt with the aging process. When I first saw seniors react to virtual reality, I knew there was something powerful to dive into, and have spent the last years pouring my heart into a product that I know my grandmother would be proud of.”
Cofounder/CTO
“The first time I was able to bring a resident to their childhood home was a turning point for me. The work I was doing before Rendever was never as meaningful, but now I’m able to help people return to the places that are most important to them and have an opportunity to make a difference using a technology that I love."
Vice President of Sales
“Working for a company, part of a team, and in a culture that is built around truly improving and impacting people's lives in a positive way is very important to me. I'm proud of the work we’re doing and know that down the road, my friends and family will all benefit from this innovative technology."

This movement will define health and wellness in the older adult community - I am honored to be along for the ride."
Account Representative
"My mission in life is to serve and care for others. Rendever is not just a VR platform or a company, it's a spirit of hope for those lost in depression and social isolation. I am honored to stand with a team who recognizes the important role that our parents and grandparents have in our lives, and our collective responsibility we have to serve them. When I use Rendever, I'm reminded of my Nana's timeless smile. I'm excited that I can bring that same joy to every new partner."
Senior Software Engineer
"I've spent more than half my life making interactive software, and am always impressed by the sense of being transported to another place or time. We've all felt more isolated lately. The seniors I know love to share a good adventure. I'm delighted to help bring them there."
Software Engineer
"VR as an experiential medium has limitless potential, full of moments of exploration, creativity, and community. It inspires me every day, and I’m excited to a be part of Rendever, where I’m able to use my skills to share that inspiration with one of the audiences that benefits from it the most."

The amount of pure joy that rushes across their face is the most motivating thing I could imagine!"

At Rendever, I get to work with my interests in the human brain and technology and I can truly help people.

Best of all, I get to work with a team of truly dedicated people who believe in the same things I do.
Clinical Research Intern
None of my grandparents speak English, and social isolation as immigrants in a foreign country is rarely talked about. The work Rendever is accomplishing aids to bridge positive experiences across not only generations and communities, but also cultures. I'm so grateful to be part of an amazing team dedicated to improving accessibility to healthy aging.
Product Specialist
“Having two grandmothers in their early 90s, I’ve seen firsthand the negative effects loneliness and isolation can have on them. I am so proud to contribute to a team that tackles this issue by providing experiences that bring adventure, curiosity, and laughter back into the lives of older adults. I’ll never forget the awestruck look my 91 year old grandmother had when she was walking with penguins and flying on a hot air balloon!"
Immersive Media Production Coordinator
“The moment I saw what Rendever was doing for older communities I just knew that I had to be apart of the mission. I have seen loved ones isolated and I know the pain it causes them so being able to have the opportunity to bring positive experiences to older communities that are isolated drove me to wanting to be apart of this group! It is an honor to work with such a creative and driven team that works hard to bring joy to those communities."
Product Intern
"I have always wanted to make a positive impact through my work. Rendever’s mission immediately resonated with me, and I knew I had to be a part of the team. The isolation that some seniors have to face truly breaks my heart, and witnessing the impact our product has on their lives makes my day brighter!"
Senior Operations Manager
"I’ve seen firsthand with my nana how isolating senior living communities can be, and how difficult that transition can be for seniors and their families. From the moment I discovered Rendever, I was drawn to the mission and knew that I needed to be involved in anyway possible! I’m proud to be part of a team that makes an impact and who truly cares about improving seniors’ lives by keeping them connected to the world and to others."
Technical Support Representative
I've always been passionate about technology, but I never imagined a how to provide wellness and joy such as Rendever does in a unique way using virtual reality. This is the path we should keep going, to care for others and use our new technologies not only to bring us closer physically but also emotionally.
