"My journey into the realm of New Product Development began early in my career, where I spent seven years overseeing the corporate R&D function within the intricately structured life science organization, PerkinElmer.
​
The adage 'threading the needle' perfectly encapsulates the effort, focus, and patience required to thrive in this domain. New Product Development possesses the remarkable ability to unify all functional areas of a company. To achieve this unity, our approach must encompass both the 'big ticket items,' such as sales and ROI, as well as the minutiae, like addressing a malfunctioning button on an application utilized by engineers for drawing submissions.
​
We thrive on collaborating with clients in this domain because we share a common language and inherent shorthand that is universally understood by those immersed in this field."
