I first joined Impressio, Inc., an innovative material science company, as a board member and now I have joined the team to lead the business as CEO. Impressio’s world-class engineers and Ph.D. scientists are the first to successfully manufacture the combination of liquid crystals with elastomers (LCE’s) at scale. LCE’s are a soft multifunctional elastic material with an extraordinary ability to dissipate high levels of energy. LCE’s performance properties enable new product solutions in protective equipment for contact sports and the military as well as medical technology such as orthopedic joint replacements. Our vision is that LCE’s will increase the performance of a range of products to positively impact human life and health. Currently, Impressio has gained support for our new technology from the National Football League, the National Science Foundation, the National Institute of Health, the U.S. Army, and the University of Colorado Denver College of Engineering, Design, and Computing. I am devoted to building successful business-to-business partnerships and passionate about helping Impressio to grow by aligning with brands seeking to innovate their products through science, superior design, and new materials. I lead MS2 Ventures LLC, an advisory and investment firm, and I am an advisor to Footprint International (a sustainable technology packaging firm). Prior positions include Class I Director roles at NASDAQ: GNOG, Landcadia Holdings I & II, senior leadership roles at the New York Football Giants, the Washington NFL team, eBay, and the National Basketball Association. I am an alumnus of the Global Executive Leadership Program at the Yale School of Management, and hold a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Hobart College. When I’m not at work, I’m most at home on the water and enjoy any activity involving boats.
