I love science. I've always loved science and knew from the time I was very young that I was going into science. However, I had no idea what opprotunities that science could provide to me outside of R&D Then, during one fateful moment, it was determined that funding would be pulled on an instrument that I had spent 5 years working on and my future suddenly became unclear. I had never thought about leaving the bench and had no idea what Project Management was. Oh wait, that was Product Management? Shows you how little I knew.
Thus was the beginning of a new journey for me and one that has been filled with exciting, challenging, frustrating, fun, aggravating, amazing and so many other adjectives that come to mind. With this new journey I have learned so much and had the privilege of working with large billion dollar corporations and small start ups. with such incredible people who have given me an tremendous wealth of opportunities to market everything from commoditized reagents, to innovative solutions, capital equipment, regulated products, software as well as services. Through all of this, many have shared much of themselves to enable me to be a better marketer, manager and leader. Now it's my turn to give back.
