How about Jono Bacon. He's got the open source creds but his new gig at XPrize is a fascinating demonstration that what we do here in open source is akin to the processes needed to create huge innovation leaps. If we were to pair that with some bigwig at a research org then we can do the full story from invention through innovation to production (I'm assuming production is a given with the ASF).
I can fish around for a research bigwig if you want, but we have plenty of people around here more directly connected to that world too. Ross Microsoft Open Technologies, Inc.
