Work Background
Flagship PioneeringSenior Vice President, Head of Flagship Digital
Dec. 2021Greater BostonAs SVP and Head of Digital at Flagship Pioneering, I built and led a team of expert engineers, hands-on technologists, and stellar operators who served Flagship’s growth, while also supporting the launch and scalability of Flagship enterprise companies as they grew to the next level and achieved digital independence. With an average of 25-plus companies supported by my team at any given time, new information, diversity of thought, and context switching were the norm – making results-driven candor and openness to new ideas essential. I came to Flagship in the earliest stages of the company’s hypergrowth. The challenge was clear: get in front of the future and keep things operating at peak performance today. So we built digital capabilities around technology and data to serve a multitude of different bioplatform and R&D biopharmaceutical companies; brought core competencies in house to reduce reliance on third parties; and organized operations ensuring our scientists could focus on making a real impact on the future.
