About me
My passion is helping small companies find their customers, discover their pain points and communicate more effectively.
I work with local organizations including CU, as an Entrepreneur in Residence; SAGE in Boulder and Fort Collins helping early stage companies connect with teams of expert advisors; and as an NSF I-Corps Customer Discovery instructor. I am the principal of The Strong Group, a high technology consulting firm. I served in marketing executive positions at public and private companies including Agilent Technologies, Dionex, Dharmacon, GeneData and Genomica. I am an advisor to the SJSU Masters in Biotechnology program and the CU Research and Innovation Advisory Board. My degrees are from Penn State (BS Chemistry) and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (MS Analytical Chemistry).
