John's
introduction to technology commercialization was as a full-time
research engineer in an R&D laboratory at Lehigh University in
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. That experience paved the way for his
advancement to business development specialist for a state-sponsored
technology commercialization organization - The Ben Franklin
Partnership.
During eight years with Ben Franklin, John was
directly involved with over 80 technology commercialization projects
with budgets ranging from $10,000 to over $1 million. He also developed
a broad technology commercialization support network, from technology
researchers and manufacturing companies to institutional investment
professionals and public-sector economic development and support
organizations.
With a desire to be "back in the trenches,"
John was recruited by Lockheed Martin to lead a team that created a
venture-backed company with technology licensed out of a US Dept. of
Energy laboratory. John played a principal role in the creation of the
startup that attracted over US$4 million in venture capital while
growing to 18 employees.
