About Mauri

I have an A. B. In Human Biology, M. S. In Biochemistry, M. B. A. In Finance & Marketing. My last 28 years have been devoted to the BioPharma industry, most notably Genentech, but also in pharma and Med device private startups and mid-size companies. I held positions of increasing responsibility from scientist, to market research, to project management, product development, executive management, leadership coaching. I enjoy coaching young talented people position themselves and their CVs for corporate work and would like to help our vets identify and communicate cross-job skills and experiences to get them into the private sector. It would be an honor to assist with this effort.
