Experience

1. Principal

   Medmax Consulting Limited

   Feb 2014 — Present

   MedMax Consulting specializes in assisting start up and development stage companies with startup operations, strategic/business planning, fund raising, business/corporate development, contract negotiation/management, marketing/sales, product commercialization, clinical planning/operations and other activities that are critical to building and maintaining a successful company. Assignments often involve taking a senior operating position. My primary focus has been with medical technology including biotechnology, medical devices and medical diagnostics. Recently completed consulting engagements include:1) BEATBio – COO. BEAT Biotherapeutics Corp. is developing BB-R12, a novel gene therapy with the potential to revolutionize the treatment of heart failure. BEATBio is using gene therapy technology to reverse the underlying cause of heart failure, a weakened heart. BB-R12 activates myosin, the pumping protein in the heart, to strengthen contractions and speed relaxation.2) Aminex - COO. Aminex Therapeutics, Inc, is focused on development of a unique cancer immunotherapy. Aminex’s novel cancer immunotherapy drug, AMXT 1501/DFMO, engages the immune system to attack and clear cancer\'s primary tumors and metastases. AMXT 1501/DFMO negates two major immune system suppressors-polyamines and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). It reduces the cancer-driving roles of both the MYC and RAS oncogenes, thought to be involved with more than sixty percent of cancers. 3) Zeptovision - CEO. Zeptovision Inc. is a medical device company that uses the world’s smallest micro-camera system to develop a guidewire that can see (the EyeWire). EyeWire™ is a smart guidewire for use in a variety of medical procedures. EyeWire is a flexible, disposable and inexpensive system that allows direct visualization of confined and twisting pathways and deep structures that are currently inaccessible to visualization, eliminating the need for x-ray guidance and difficult manual guidance.
