Smithsonian Laureate CTO, philanthropist, investor
Damion Hankejh invented Internet customer service at Ingk Labs before IBM coined the term eCommerce (Oracle acquired InstantService IP in a $1 billion roll-up).
Ingk Labs continues to build on a successful legacy with the development of disruptive technologies and investment in early-stage companies. Along with Craig Alberino and Lorenzo Thione, Damion is focused on advising select startups for Ingk Labs, including online food-ordering service Rangri and online opinion collector Doochoo. Damion specializes in hand selecting and resurrecting dormant intellectual property from venture capital partner firms worldwide to form new, fully protected companies.
Hankejh was honored as a Smithsonian Laureate for his work as CTO of Virtual Operating Room (now Swedish Medical), a pioneering research project at the nexus of medicine, robotics and technology which set the stage for the first fully accredited virtual operating rooms worldwide.
