Participating Company

Cepheid (Nasdaq: CPHD) is a leading molecular diagnostics company that is dedicated to improving healthcare by developing, manufacturing, and marketing accurate yet easy-to-use molecular systems and tests. The advantages over other technologies are accuracy, speed, and ease-of-use -- quickly getting important information into the hands of healthcare professionals to dramatically improve patient outcomes.

I have worked in multiple roles always focussed on transforming healthcare through new technologies. I go where I believe in the product and technology, respect the team, and expect I can contribute from day one. I have worked in start-ups, early stage companies, and large biotechs. I have led R&D teams through product development, clinical development, product registrations and launch. I have been involved in and have also led the drafting of initial business plans and strategy. I have been on both sides of Due Diligence projects. I enjoy working in multifunctional teams and learning from others. I am a life-long learner and enjoy exploring new fields of science and medicine.
