About Richard Jennings
I have the pleasure of working with world-class teams who are passionate about helping clients realize their dream of building their families. For the past two decades, I have enjoyed leading companies through growth and expansion of services within life sciences (Reproductive, Biomaterials, Genetics/Genomics, and Stem Cells). My former company, Generate Life Sciences is the combination of leading reproductive (California Cryobank, Donor Egg Bank), stem cell (CBR) and genetic testing (ReadyGen) services. We helped babies be born using frozen gametes and preserved 1.2 million stem cell units to protect our client families. This company was sold to Cooper Companies [NYSE: COO] in December 2021.I am a healthcare executive with more than 25 years of general management experience and a proven track record of implementing strategic changes and growth initiatives. I have a BS degree in Chemical Engineering and MBA from Harvard Business School.
