COO, USF Institute of applied engineering
“Not only have I been able to provide startups with practical support and industry insights to enhance their strategic growth, but I have also gained invaluable perspectives myself. This journey has led me to serve on the advisory board of a startup with a groundbreaking drone product that aids governmental and private sectors, blending my current role in academics with my past experience as Chief of Innovation in the US Air Force.”
