About Nathaniel Hunter

Nathaniel Hunter is the Co-Founder and COO of DreamView, Inc. Prior to founding DreamView in partnership with Euan Macdonald, the duo previously launched two other companies together, SiXiTs and SuperTales, Inc. — both of which specialized in high-tech, cutting-edge digital entertainment. When creating DreamView, Nathaniel brought his three decades of leadership experience at the forefront of industry-defining computer-generated imagery (CGI) development to the table to help create a trusted content generation solution with software capable of producing photoreal assets and media.Nathaniel’s entrepreneurial and leadership skills date back to his early years, when he opened his first business at the age of 17: a comic bookstore that he owned and operated in Novato, CA. From there, he established himself within traditional animation and illustration circles, and quickly advanced to director and team leadership roles in the CGI industry with marquee companies such as Lucasfilm Animation and Apple. Over the last 3 decades, Nathaniel has co-founded multiple successful companies, as well as taking this positive momentum and experience with him as he stepped up as COO for several other behemoth entertainment brands, all of which led to him co-establishing DreamView in 2018. Through DreamView, Nathaniel is able to leverage his expertise to lead the creation of an enabling platform and service solution that fulfills the production, marketing and distribution needs of small to enterprise level brands, eCommerce suppliers, manufacturers and retailers worldwide. As a veteran leader in the digital hardware and software implementation space, he creates compelling, multi-dimensional content that blends visual and technical artistry into engaging, immersive brand experiences. Some of his best-known clients have included Apple, AT&T, Ford, Comcast, Lululemon, Universal Studios, Lucasfilm, Disney, and more.Nathaniel is a calm, humble leader who inspires the best from his teams while maintaining his focus on creating disruptive technology that both empowers users and enables global social change. In addition to leading his team at DreamView, he also serves as Co-Chair of Asset Creation with Khronos 3D Commerce group. In his spare time, Nathaniel devotes himself to environmental causes and animal rescue.
