布雷特·马龙,90 91 96年

President, Virginia Tech Corporate 研究 Center

I'm an aerospace engineer who found myself in the middle of building biotech companies. I started my career writing engineering software. Then I launched my first company, learned how to lead and manage teams, and have been building ever since. I was fascinated by the mapping of the human genome so I shifted careers and got into bioinformatics. The book “The Genome War” convinced me to make the leap. Over the course of my career, I've been part of some of the coolest project teams from the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works to inside of Google's life science venture division. I'm now coming back to Blacksburg to help the next generation of entrepreneurs learn how to chase “10X impact.”
