​Presenter Tony Vento

​Tony Vento is Sr. Director of Broad-Based Business at NI–Emerson, where he leads initiatives to expand customer success through a software-centric approach to test, measurement, and automation. He joined National Instruments in 1986 as the company’s first Applications Engineer for LabVIEW and has remained closely involved with the platform throughout its 40-year evolution. Over his career, he established NI’s direct sales and support operations in the U.S., Europe, and Japan; led global support; and helped define systems engineering as a core discipline within the company.

​Vento later served on NI’s Executive Leadership Team under founder and CEO Dr. James Truchard. In this role, he led Customer Feedback initiatives and directed the Worldwide Partner Program, scaling a global ecosystem of more than 1,000 system integrators.

​Following Dr. Truchard’s departure in 2019, Vento left NI and founded his own company, continuing to work within the NI ecosystem. He rejoined NI–Emerson in 2025, focusing on systems, LabVIEW+, and the integration of AI into test and measurement workflows.

​He holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and computer science, summa cum laude, from the University of Colorado Boulder, and a master’s degree in information technology from the University of Texas at Austin. He also received an honorary PhD in Virtual Instrumentation from Dr. Truchard.
