Experience
Chief Operating Officer
Aug 2024 — Present · Boulder, CO, US
Building the first shape-shifting macrocycle platform: At Kitsune Bio, we embed “molecular ball joints” into cyclic peptides so they can cloak polarity to cross membranes, then reshuffle to expose high-affinity faces. The result: orally-bioavailable drugs that reach intracellular targets, opening the door for new disease treatments.• Developed and validated ML prediction pipeline (Python, RDKit, scikit-learn) for cyclic peptide permeability, enabling data-driven compound prioritization. • Secured over $980k in non-dilutive funding within 12 months, from government and private entities.• Led incorporation, strategic direction, and competitive analysis to define market opportunities, therapeutic indications and biological target.• Determined market selection, commercial potential, and 12-month runway planning for financing efforts.• Developed and prioritized 6 & 12-month scientific experimentation plans to execute platform validation,overseeing the actions of 2 international labs.• Represented Kitsune Bio at conferences (JPM/BIO) to establish investor relationships and foster business development opportunities.• Key decision maker in hiring, R&D, and organizational strategy for long-term company objectives.
