I love to help move early innovations toward commercial products that can help improve healthcare and patient outcomes. I currently do this through the analysis, management and licensing of early stage university and medical center innovation.I have a background rooted in science (virus-host interaction, and drug discovery) and built upon as a patent agent, licensing manager and mentor where I have strategically managed portfolios of innovation. A small glimpse at some of my professional experience can be highlighted by:I can successfully scout, value, negotiate and manage large collaborations that are from the startup stage to major pharmaceutical companies.- I strategically designed and implemented new marketing campaigns that increased licensing success.- Gained the trust of opposite negotiators and have built longstanding relationships through an honest approach. - Regularly perform financial valuations of hard to value assets.I seek out new ways to test my limitations and self-improve.- I am constantly seeking new knowledge both applicable to my position and those that align more broadly with healthcare or personal interests.- Take on new challenges outside my comfort zone.I enjoy meeting new people and hearing new perspectives. Reach out if you want to talk to me about emerging trends in healthcare, pharma, finance, or any great running/adventure races around the US, and I can tell you some hard earned lessons about my favorite training location - which is Lazarus Lake’s infamous race venue.
