As CEO and co-founder, I set company vision, operational tactics, and go-to-market strategy as we are actively pursuing seed funding. E-Sentience is building a wearable technology platform to help people better understand and moderate their physiological and psychological health by measuring key chemical biomarkers in real time. We are starting by making the first commercially-available wearable device that directly measures physical and mental stress through “the stress hormone” – cortisol. Cortisol is a component of sweat, and, as humans are constantly sweating at a low level, we can collect continuous, non-invasive biometric data from our discrete and comfortable arm sleeve. The device will also measure non-hormonal stress markers (heart rate, blood oxygenation, skin conductance and skin temperature) and includes a cooling component that activates when acute stress metrics exceed personalized baseline zones. Sudden exposure to cold temperatures has been demonstrated to relieve anxiety, lower heart rate and interrupt panic attacks. By automating this response, individuals would no longer need to seek active intervention in the middle of a crisis. A mobile app with user-friendly interface will connect to the wearable device and collect and display the user's data.

I develop global integrated marketing campaign strategies, and coordinate their execution worldwide. I also manager the global product portfolio sales forecast to achieve financial performance targets for associated P&Ls.

At a small company, my roles were many and varied. I spearheaded marketing efforts, produced and present edscientific research, provided direct customer support, and handled day-to-day operations. I also served as our global sales manager and was responsible for devising global sales strategy for 2021 and for managing the lifecycle and launch of new instruments.

I served as the lead scientist on two research projects within the Fry lab. This role involved designing the study, collecting and analyzing the data, and writing and editing the article for publication, as well as facilitating communication among my co-authors. I also collaborated on other lab members’ research projects, provided support of lab logistics, and mentored younger students.
