Current VP of Hardware Dan Mills will serve as interim CEO. Mills will steer the company through the next stage of growth.

“Bubl Technology has evolved since our initial Kickstarter campaign,” said Ramsay. “The original vision was a simple to use app and a spherical camera, but now we’ve developed so much more – an entire ecosystem of hardware and software spherical technology for consumers. I’m excited to focus my skills and time on my passion, which is the product vision – bringing more strategic partnerships and technical thinking to the new ecosystem we’ve been tirelessly building over the last 13 months. Dan is such an amazing asset to this company and he will spend more of his time focusing on the future corporate trajectory of the company.”

Mills, who has been with Bubl Technology since the beginning, has extensive management experience and will ensure the business continues to exceed expectations. “Bubl Technology is growing faster than we imagined, and these changes will help us continue to deliver superior spherical technology to consumers,” said Mills. “I’ve seen this company adapt and mature throughout the years and am excited about our bright future.”
