Leadership Where It Counts

It takes more than a plan to achieve your goals. It takes situational awareness, operational intelligence, and the perseverance and grit to follow-through with the action necessary to get the job done.

  • When a critical satellite uplink deep in the mountains of Southeast Asia broke down, I strapped on 40 lbs of technical equipment for a 6-hour boat ride and a 20-mile hike to troubleshoot and rebuild the connection.
  • When a manufacturing company needed to meet surging customer demand with a deadline looming, I personally recruited and hired new management, validated 96 production SOPs, and coordinated process inspectors on the factory floor to achieve a 33% increase in product shipments and ISO 9001 quality certification.
  • When a key system failed at 11 pm the day before my client's deliverable was due, I was on the scene with their team and my Chief Data Scientist within minutes. We worked together into the night trading code snippets and improvising solutions until operations were restored and the results delivered, saving $45M in operating costs.

Teamwork

Organizations only excel when their people work well together; the human element is not an afterthought, it is everything in today’s knowledge economy. I thrive working as part of a high-performing team and always seek to connect, elevate, and learn from the diversity of talented individuals around me. One of my chief strengths is coordinating cross-functional teams and tracking complex, detailed objectives to help ensure on-track delivery for everyone.

Specialties

Science

My work is informed by my deep scientific and engineering knowledge base. I hold a PhD in Biotechnology from the University of Cambridge where I forged an international collaboration between two top-tier laboratories, the Analytical Biotechnology Group in Cambridge, and the Tuberculosis Research Section at the NIH to develop point-of-care diagnostics for tuberculosis. I also hold a BS in Biomedical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Entrepreneurship

I have been involved in the entrepreneurship community since 2009 when I was elected as the Vice President of the Cambridge University Entrepreneurs. I delivered monthly entrepreneurship training to 1,000+ people and coordinated business plan competitions that awarded £25K in seed funding to the winners. I founded the NEroute campaign that raised $10k+ for charity and VineSpecs, a project to revolutionize the sensory experience of wine through quantitative flavor and aroma analytics.

Global Perspective

I have extensive international experience having coordinated cross-functional teams on the ground in 7 countries and traveled to 57 countries. I also have experience working under difficult security conditions and operating teams in geopolitically sensitive areas including active conflict zones. True situational awareness and operational intelligence are also key to keeping my team safe while we get the job done.
