From Chemical Engineering to Virtual Alchemy
After earning his BS degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Florida, Chris helped to spin-out a sister company of Rubberfab Technologies Group in Sparta, NJ (USA) to create and co found TBL Performance Plastics, which was later acquired in 2019 by a leading private-equity firm. Following the acquisition, Chris helped to carry out a multi-national rebrand of six companies as SaniSure, which remains as one of the most highly respected and innovative manufacturers of single-use biopharma equipment in the world. Since receiving an MBA in 2020, graduating second in his class at Louisiana State University, Chris has focused heavily on researching business strategy and marketing principles.
