About Kellie S. Bickel

I’m a visionary, growth-oriented Genomics Executive with a solid track record of success in leading strategic business plan development, commercialization strategy, program implementation, and IP portfolio development for disruptive technologies and products.With a deep expertise and passion for business, science, and patent law, I bring innovative, out-of-the-box solutions to market based on analysis and clinical data to address unmet needs and solve big problems in patient healthcare. The guiding North Star in my career is identifying, researching, and creating opportunities to address major gaps in cancer care and early detection, and in particular women’s oncology needs.As a strategic thinker at all levels, I have extensive experience in driving corporate strategy and implementation, short and long-term goal setting, and driving cross-functional alignment and team building to address business goals. As a sought-after public speaker, I am invited to lead conference sessions from coast to coast and executive presentations representing the company, communicating complex ideas to a range of audiences and internal/external clients. I have had tremendous success at building strategic, high-value patent portfolios, achieving high yield ROI and aggressive growth through intellectual property assets, including in-licensing, out-licensing, M&A, and litigation efforts.As an executive leader, I aspire to inspire, serve, and foster individual and team growth creating a dynamic culture in which ideas are shared and respected. Celebrated for forming strong partnerships, I value relationship-building, integrity, and collaboration. This has facilitated huge wins and collaborations in every aspect of business development, including managing and negotiating multiple complex contracts, which has resulted in long-term revenue and company value creation.Outside of work, you will find me outdoors as often as possible – hiking, camping, fishing, and adventuring with my family including spending plenty of time at the baseball field cheering on my teenage son and his team.
