Founder/CEO | Deep Tech Dual Use and CPG Commercialization | NC State Ecosystem | $75M Raised
With over a decade of experience as a co-founder, CEO, and advisor, I have been deeply involved in early-stage startups, strategic partnerships, and technology commercialization. Through my work as a CEO/Executive, startup advisor, educator, and board member, I am committed to fostering innovation, supporting entrepreneurial ventures, and maximizing the potential of groundbreaking technologies in multiple industries. As a Lecturer at North Carolina State University, I teach MBA/MSE 576, the foundational course in the renowned NCSU TEC sequence. This program focuses on evaluating and commercializing early-stage technologies from lab to market, fostering innovation and entrepreneurship. Returning to this pioneering program, which has launched numerous startups and significant ventures, aligns with my mission to empower the next generation of innovators.
