I position myself as a scientist that can read a P&L. Having held multiple board positions in my own venture as CEO (10 years) and in various roles as an executive and non-executive board for companies in the life science and biotech arena I have a strong background in bootstrapping and financing the highly innovative venture. I launched my own venture for diabetes management in direct competition with google%27s own glucose lens project and with a smaller team and considerably less capital brought the product through clinical trials ahead of the Google team. I get my energy from working with management teams to identify opportunities for growth and bringing innovative solutions to the market to help people regain their lives following illness or living with chronic disease.
