While in this role my global team released and refreshed every platform from legacy acquisitions and implemented a mobile development initiative. Our key platforms were brought into the mobile computing world and the legacy ChemDraw product when launched on the iPad achieved top 10 status in the Apple education app category. My passion is to create and deliver an innovative pipeline of software products to simplify the complexities of life science research. I also enjoy developing a core team of software development experts to be custodians of the worlds most deployed software platform for scientists. From March 2011 to May 2013 (2 years 3 months) Founder & CEO @ ArtusLabs, Inc. was a technology company founded in 2007 providing scientific data management software and services to enable workplace collaboration and data management in the Life Science marketplace. The ArtusLabs technology and platform called Ensemble blended social networking, personal publication, and big data mining to simplify internal and external research communication and management. The algorithms and technology at ArtusLabs were key to three pivotal patent filings in the Big Data category. ArtusLabs was acquired by PerkinElmer in 2011. Specialties ArtusLabs was formed by the same team that pioneered the Enterprise Electronic Lab Notebook marketplace. The company had expertise in managing, mining, and processing complex unstructured data and information generated from research activities. From April 2007 to March 2011 (4 years) VP Product Strategy @ Symyx offered high-speed combinatorial technologies for the discovery of new materials. Using proprietary technologies - including instruments, software and methods - Symyx was able to generate hundreds to thousands of unique materials at a time and screen those materials rapidly and automatically for desired properties. This approach can deliver results hundreds to thousands of times faster than traditional research methods, at a fraction of the cost. Symyx applied this technology to revolutionize materials discovery in the life sciences, chemical, and electronics industries. Symyx purchased Synthematix in 2005 and I was moved to CA to join the management team as the VP of Product Management then Product Strategy. From March 2005 to March 2007 (2 years 1 month) CEO and Founder @ Synthematix was the pioneer of electronic laboratory notebooks for scientists. I was the founder and CEO of Synthematix and helped to build the team and technology for this emerging new market. ELN's are now a common foundational technology for any scientific discovery practice. Synthematix revolutionized how scientists capture, plan and make decisions about their research. We invented the Electronic Laboratory Notebook and the founding team holds a patent on the first implementations of this technology. The most rewarding thing when reflecting on Synthematix is walking the halls of research labs and seeing the core technology we created being used by scientists around the globe to solve incredibly hard research problems. Synthematix was acquired by Symyx, Inc. in 2005. From January 2000 to April 2005 (5 years 4 months) President & CEO @ RYSCOR Science was a small specialty synthetic chemistry company that specialized in very hard to create novel molecules. I founded the company and bootstrapped the business to profitability within two years. We developed BNCT agents as well as specialty polymeric compounds and API's for clinical trials.
