An accomplished Senior Innovation & Strategy Executive, I have over two-decades of history in building first-in-kind science products for the pharma, biotech, digital health, and medical device industries. I have succeeded in building medical technology businesses with specialties and patents in digital therapy, ultrasound surgical modalities, transdermal IVD, neurostimulation, and therapeutic drug-device combinations. An inventor and engineer at heart, I have delivered results in fast-paced R&D, product development, drug delivery, regulatory strategy, clinical operations, GMP and IP environments.I have broad clinical experience across IBD/UC, ADHD, ASD, MS, PD, MDD, AD, TBI, Stroke, Diabetes, and Surgery.I am currently a member of the board of directors and former CEO of Suono Bio, which aims to be the pre-eminent biotech enabling oral delivery of biologics and genetic medicines. Leveraging technology from the laboratories of Professors Robert Langer and Giovanni Traverso (MIT), Suono Bio has demonstrated formulation-independent delivery of proteins and nucleic acids through the gastrointestinal tract. Previously I served as SVP in charge of medical devices (regulatory/clinical ops/quality) at Akili Interactive Labs, Inc. where we developed the first therapeutic mobile apps that can remotely download software directly to provide neuro-stimulation in a closed-loop and adaptive manner through an engaging video gaming experience. I led the design and execution of Akili's clinical trials, the successful submission and FDA clearance of Akili's de novo application for a pediatric ADHD treatment, and the CE certification. Before joining Akili, I was an integral member of the founding teams at Follica Bio, Afferent, Corp., Sontra Medical, Inc., and UltraCision, Inc. (now J&J), serving as VP of Business Operations, VP of Product Development, VP of R&D, and Director of Engineering. Additionally, I served in engineering leadership roles at Mentor Medical, Inc. (now J&J) and Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc. (J&J). I graduated with high honors from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst with a BS in engineering and received my MS and MBA from Northeastern University. I have specific technical expertise in therapeutic ultrasound and am an inventor on many domestic and international patents and lead inventor on key patents for the Harmonic Scalpel ($1B+/year product). In 2004, my team and I were awarded Popular Science’s “Best of What’s New in Healthcare.”See PATENTS HERE - http://bit.ly/483yasY
