About Jack Kavanaugh

I help transform groundbreaking research into industry-leading products and solutions with a key focus on biotechnology, medicine and advanced materials. It is my life’s mission to create a positive impact on society and the welfare of people by solving persistent challenges with unique science-based solutions — beginning with two successful lifetimes as a M&A/management consultant specialist as well as a board certified eye surgeon (M.D.) who transitioned to private equity.Many brilliant researchers produce ideas and viable solutions in research labs, but often lack the business acumen to bring them to market and scale them. My unique background has enabled me to support multiple exceptional researchers, as well as existing organizations, to identify opportunities for innovation and success as founder/co-founder, Chairman and/ CEO for more than a dozen companies — leading them through inception, R&D, strategic development, pivots, key inflection points and acquisition.
