Jim eagerly embraced the opportunity to join the founding team of InduPro. The immense potential was clear, and the nascent leadership team created a fantastic synergy.
He brings a proven track record of success on executive leadership teams building and supporting new company infrastructure previously with AlivaMab Discovery Services, Sevion Therapeutics, and Fabrus by segregating administrative distractions from the research teams allowing them to focus on value creation. Prior to moving solely into operations leadership, Jim also concurrently held roles managing lab automation systems, cell line development, and bioprocessing. The insights and experiences gained training and working as a scientist contribute to his effectiveness as an operations executive.
Jim received his PhD in molecular biology from The Scripps Research Institute and a BA from UC Berkeley. This followed diverse career transitions as a qualified nuclear-trained engineering mechanic in the US Navy to industrial chemical plant maintenance mechanic and cellar/vineyard hand with a winery in the Santa Cruz mountains.
Outside of InduPro, Jim strives to become a certified bon vivant enjoying baking and cooking, fermenting anything, and sharing it all with his partner, three kids, and friends over colorful stories he’s still collecting in a life well-lived.
