Background

About Scott Boyer

I have always possessed an insatiable curiosity. Especially for the natural world. When I was 5 years old I spent most of my time exploring nearby creeks in search of salamanders, or in the brush chasing lizards. It wasn’t until college that I began to appreciate the smaller things in life: cellular and molecular biology. The greatest value of my training as a scientist was honing the ability to address problems with an unbiased approach and making data-driven decisions. I’m passionate about driving technology forward efficiently and effectively. Interacting with people from diverse backgrounds and competencies invigorates me. While my background is primarily in R&D, I’m motivated by embracing new roles which have including engineering and business thus far. I pursued an MBA to combine my technology background with business acumen in order to create value for products in the healthcare space. My core values are Authenticity, Balance, and Creativity. I exercise these 'ABCs' in both my personal and professional life. Authenticity to me is about being honest, transparent, reliable and consistent. The only way to achieve this is to know who you are as an individual and be true to yourself. Finding Balance is something I strive for with every task: teaching vs learning, profession vs family life, community vs individual activities, ambition vs devotion, and even balancing the 'hamburgers with a beer' vs 'salad and a smoothie'. Last but not least, Creativity. Creativity is about taking risks and acting on your ideas, not just day dreaming about them. This exploration should be playful, creating a sense of amusement and generating enthusiasm for every task. Thank you for reading!
