GAINING COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENT SUPPORT FOR NEW TECHNOLOGY-BASED INTERVENTIONS

In my experience it is critical to gain and maintain public trust in environmental and public health interventions that depend on introduction of new technologies that affect our communities. A hallmark of successful interventions is the implementation of rigorous risk analysis and risk management plans prior to deployment of emerging technologies.

I am keen to systematically address new technology risk management, public opinion considerations, and the need to follow the science with stakeholders across industry, government, academia, the financial community, and the general public in order to build the trust required to advance technology-based interventions. I look forward to translating lessons learned developing and deploying highly-regulated first-in-class molecular and genetically engineered solutions to a framework that will benefit the new ventures and technology startups I am supporting in the interest of operationalizing technologies for the public good.
