At BullFrog AI, I lead marketing with one clear goal: to help unlock the power of AI/ML so life science innovators can bring better therapies to patients, faster. By applying advanced machine learning to unstructured, complex biomedical data, we help researchers find meaningful insights that might otherwise stay buried. Whether it's identifying novel drug targets or enabling clinical trial optimization, we're helping move science forward in a smarter, more scalable way. As CMO, I’m responsible for our global marketing strategy, brand positioning, and go-to-market execution. That means telling the BullFrogAI story in a way that resonates with pharma leaders, biotech teams, and life sciences partners looking for an edge. What Drives Me: This work is personal. We’re not just marketing technology, we’re enabling breakthroughs that can save lives. I’m passionate about connecting innovation to real-world impact, and I’m proud to work alongside a team committed to changing how life sciences data is understood, interpreted, and acted upon.
