Howard Lo

Born in Hong Kong and raised in Chicago, Howard earned his Master’s of Science in Engineering at Southern Illinois University in 1987. At General Dynamics in Fort Worth (now Lockheed Martin Fort Worth), Howard won the Extraordinary Achievement Award for his contributions to a suite of computer aircraft analysis technologies.

As a Silicon Graphics Inc. Systems Engineer in the early 1990’s, Howard helped the growing company to successfully introduce its graphics and super computer technologies into major accounts such as Mobil, Texas Instruments, the Super Conducting Super Collider and Lockheed Martin.

Later in his career Howard’s inventive skills led to the development of “Webucator”, an Internet-based training system for SGI’s worldwide sales force. This application was developed in record time and proved vital in a major product launch, saving millions of dollars in travel time and expense by delivering worldwide sales training over the internet.

After he left SGI in 1997, Howard founded Mastersoft (now doing business as VisitView Corporation) as a software consultancy, but with ever increasing demand for VisitView enhancements, Mastersoft has evolved into a product focussed company. Today, Howard is helping increase the efficiency and efficacy of briefing centers with the VisitView product (For more details on VisitView's history, please see our FAQ). He regularly contributes his time as a member of the Southern Illinois Univeristy Civil and Environmental Engineering Professional Advisory Board.
