Mueller co-founded Color Kinetics in 1997 and served as chairman and CEO for eight years. He passed the CEO role to Bill Sims, now president and CEO, in 2005. Mueller comments: "I will remain active as chairman throughout 2006, and as a director thereafter. I am confident that the company's growth and future direction lie in exceptionally qualified hands. My role as an industry evangelist will continue, as LED technology progresses ever closer to general illumination and a host of new applications."
