Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRoman Madaus is a COO and operator who commercializes hard physical science, currently scaling KVD’s next-generation electron-energy-loss spectroscopy instruments for materials and semiconductor labs. Over eight years he has blended federal funding fluency, technical program management, and business development—at Osmoses he wrote 16 grants in 16 months and secured $6M in non-dilutive funding including a $5.2M ARPA-E award. His background spans consulting on federal R&D and grid decarbonization, building PMO and ERP systems at Booz Allen, and hands-on backend development contributions to DeFi tooling like Osmosis’s concentrated liquidity and swaprouter work. Roman excels at stitching together technical, commercial, and government stakeholders and bringing process discipline to early-stage chaos. Bicultural and multilingual (German fluent, Spanish conversational), he gravitates to thorny, cross-disciplinary problems and is active in local civic life in Greater Boston. Outside work he climbs, kiteboards, gardens, and reads widely across health science and linguistics, reflecting a generalist temperament that informs his strategic perspective.
