About Ian Miller

I take novel technologies from science to market. Started at the bench doing drug discovery. Then worked on deals at BigLaw, which taught me a lot about how science actually gets commercialized. Have spent my career since as an operator making it happen: from turnarounds to building the infrastructure for new categories.What works: building teams and partnerships that make hard things possible. Whether it\'s co-leading a diagnostics company through a strategic pivot or building agriculture\'s finest CRISPR pipeline, the companies that win aren\'t just the ones with the best science. They\'re the ones where people trust each other enough to do hard things together.
