Top SchoolJonathan Abbett is a UX-focused software leader with 13 years of experience designing and delivering complex web and clinical applications across healthcare, biotech, and pharmaceutical research. He blends interaction design, ethnographic research, and front-end engineering (HTML5/CSS3/jQuery) to translate user goals and business outcomes into measurable product strategy. As a VP of User Experience, he has led cross-functional teams that built drug discovery tools, clinical trials platforms, physician portals, and outcomes-focused customer management systems.

Known for asking what success looks like up front, he frames design work around clear metrics and broader societal impact.
