With a PhD in Computational Biology from Northeastern and early research experience at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, he blends deep technical understanding with commercial and regulatory-savvy dealmaking. He serves or has served as board director for a string of high-growth startups—spanning digital therapeutics, insurtech, clinical trials digitization, biotech GenAI, and payment innovations—helping several reach unicorn scale and public-market milestones. Prior roles in consulting (IQVIA) and BD at a pharma group give him practical experience evaluating licensing, product-market fit, and go-to-market strategies.
