Summary

I’m a startup founder, biomedical entrepreneur, and lifelong mentor focused on translating breakthrough ideas into real-world impact. As CEO of D3Sciences, I’m leading the development of a next-generation biopsy instrument designed to significantly enhance tissue sampling and enable genetic testing while minimizing complications — a technology that could redefine cancer diagnostics as the pre-analytical tool. Across my global career — from Dubai to California — I’ve helped launch and scale startups, mentored early-stage founders, and guided technology commercialization across sectors. My strength lies in spotting opportunity, building strong teams, and aligning vision with execution. Beyond the lab and boardroom, I’ve advised university tech transfer offices, curated innovation for TEDx, and served on nonprofit boards committed to education and entrepreneurship. What drives me? Turning complexity into clarity, helping ideas grow into impact, and sharing insights with future leaders. Core Strengths: • Strategic partnerships, investor relations, and startup leadership • Biomedical device commercialization, technology transfer, and mentoring • Global business development across U.S., Asia, and Middle East markets • Academic relations, research assessment, IP management and commercialization
