Portfolio ManagerPlantbio Jul 2006 - Apr 2008Managed project portfolios within the fields of plant biotechnology, biofuels and biological control, and have subsequently acquired the following skills:- To critically assess and screen new project proposals with particular reference to scientific value, intellectual property, market relatedness and commercial output of technology/products while keeping in line with, and implementing, PlantBio’s policies and strategic plan.- To develop, define and apply project management processes to optimize project management, e.g. developing unique project monitoring systems for both operational and financial aspects of specific projects.- To continually scout for new research and technology within the plant biotechnology sector.- To critically assess financial models submitted by potential investigators and to determine the financial viability of the project; this pertains more so to commercial endeavors and start-up companies than to research and development initiatives. - To effectively and proactively manage the risks associated with a portfolio of diverse projects; projects within my portfolio varied across several different focus areas with plant transformation, biological control and biofuels and bioprocessing serving as the major ones. Other areas include poverty alleviation and neutraceuticals.
