WORK HISTORY
Chief Executive Officer @Viqi Inc
Santa Barbara, CA, US
ViQi is transforming biomanufacturing by accelerating the path from development to commercial scale through Predictive AI and advanced imaging. Leading the company’s evolution from R&D to a commercially-focused enterprise, I have worked alongside our team to achieve Product-Market Fit by delivering the tools necessary to automate complex production workflows.We have pioneered novel bioassays that leverage Predictive AI to turn imaging data into the real-time triggers needed for smarter automation—replacing slow, manual processes with high-precision digital solutions. Much of my focus is on deepening our strategic partnerships with CDMOs, CROs, and global pharmaceutical leaders, where we are currently integrating these automated capabilities across the development and production lifecycle.To ensure our path through regulatory approval and commercial validation, I have assembled a highly multi-disciplinary team at the intersection of computer science, life sciences, and imaging. By bringing together experts in AI, data science, regulatory and change management, we ensure our innovations are operationally ready for the industry’s most rigorous environments. Furthering this commitment to industry progress, I serve on the Governing Committee of The National Institute for Innovation in Manufacturing Biopharmaceuticals (NIIMBL), helping to shape the standards and innovations that define the future of U.S. biopharmaceutical manufacturing.
