CAREER SUMMARY: ?[pic]
My skills excel in developing life sciences companies, discovering and
patenting new medical technologies, building teams, developing strategic
plans with accurate timelines, cross-functional management coaching and
motivating personnel.
. Experienced in taking companies from private to public, developing
contracts, working with investor and public relations, human resources,
recruiting, maintaining and retaining talented personnel.

solving, developing objectives for projects and individuals and
maintaining accountability.
. Through the course of acquiring these skills I worked on many new and
challenging medical products.
. I developed and patented an anti-cancer, anti-infective and anti-
inflammatory sterol pharmaceutical platform.
. ?I collaborated in developing tissue specific adenoviral gene-therapy
vectors for cancer therapy.
. ?Led the first hematopoietic stem cell team to clinical proof-of concept
in multiple myeloma patients.
. ?I directed the first team that developed monoclonal antibodies and their
conjugates for human use including the bispecific antibody system.
. Filed BLA and ELA applications that were approved by the USFDA.
. My pharmacology training involved research in the metabolism and
disposition of new narcotic ?analgesic drug classes. I also isolated and
identified new drug classes from marine organisms.
. Through the course of my career I have worked with both SEC and USFDA
regulatory bodies and participated in numerous corporate governance
activities, such as the obligatory SEC filings and annual reports to the
shareholders. I also participated in board and shareholder meetings. I
