PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

REGENEVITA, LLC

Market Development Manager

Work with arthroscopic and dermatologic physician groups to promote regenerative medicine-based FDA-cleared devices such as LipogemsTM, a closed-loop, minimally invasive device harvesting a patient’s autologous adipose tissue. Provide solutions to the regenerative medicine field that service patients falling into the treatment gap between surgery and more conservative and traditional treatment options.

SASOL NORTH AMERICA – Houston, Texas 2011-2018

Sales & Market Development Manager

Developed new market opportunities for Sasol Inorganics business unit outside of the traditional catalyst business. Serviced the O&G sector specializing in drilling, fracking, and completion fluids. Consulted directly with R&D scientists to develop inorganic, viscosity-structuring agents for down-hole applications.

• Closely worked with R&D team on functionalization and derivatization of nano aluminas into inorganic pigment fillers for lithium-ion battery materials.

• Developed nano aluminas for barrier property applications in polyolefin polymeric applications, advanced mechanical property polymer composites, and filled coating applications. Five patents filed in this space. OXANE MATERIALS, INC. - Houston, Texas 2005 – 2011 Senior Scientist 2005 – 2011

Oxane Consultant/Patent Preparer 2003 - 2004

Challenged with managing the R&D effort of this startup company’s first core product. As the company’s first employee, supervised the build-out and R&D effort of a team of two lab managers, eight technicians, and a junior scientist, with direct reporting responsibility to the president for the first three and a half years of operation. Responsible for hiring and managing lab personnel, including performance management and employee development. Reached a final team size of 300 employees and net capital raise of $180MM.

• Successfully reached a prototype product for a first-generation hollow-shell proppant, then produced at multi-million pound/month production rates.

• Led and managed research team in development of company’s first and core research product: a lightweight, high-strength hollow proppant, 25-75% lighter than conventional ceramic proppants.

• Optimized core product’s ceramic binder, surfactant, and coating systems, leading to savings of

$700K/year on average up to 2013. Also developed a phenolic resin coating process for product.

• Successfully oversaw company’s 2008 pilot toll scale-up efforts and achieved increase in coating development from one half pound/hour to multi-thousand pound/hour rates.

• Helped facilitate build-out and equipment purchase of company’s R&D laboratory from inception to its current size Ryan Loscutova
