My Experience
As an entrepreneur myself, I’ve more than 25 years in pharmaceutical, life sciences, healthcare insurance, vitamin manufacturing, and food Industries. I’ve been everything from janitor to the founder/CEO. I’ve served as a divisional chief information officer and startup chief technology officer.
I’ve experienced what happens when a traditional company gets $20M venture capital infusion to become the next big thing. I’ve also experienced building a business without venture backing. I built Lnx Research from zero to profitability selling more than $5M to big pharma and changed the way the pharmaceutical industry operates.
I have patents in social network analysis and machine learning and am now considered a pioneer in artificial intelligence. I hold a BS Biological Sciences from UC Irvine and an MBA from Pepperdine University. When I’m not consulting, I can be found playing billiards and socializing with friends and family.
