My consulting firm, DNA Healthlink, Inc., specializes in emerging biopharmaceutical and technology
companies. I provide a range of consulting services to early-stage and turn-around biopharmaceutical
companies including new business and regulatory strategy, hands-on operations management, due

the strategic planning, business development and M&A, and clinical development programs at two
publically-traded companies, RespireRx Pharmaceuticals and Generex Biotechnology.

Generex Biotechnology, Inc., is an integrated life science holding company with end-to-end
healthcare solutions for patient centric care from rapid diagnosis through delivery of personalized
therapies. Generex has been a publicly traded company for over 20 years (Incorporated in 1997) and
continues to be traded on the OTCQB (GNBT). As part of the company’s executive team, we have
completed a strategic reorganization and operational transformation of the entire corporate structure,
including an M&A strategy that has enabled the company to transform from and research driven
biotech to a revenue generating healthcare company.
In the effort to transform and rebuild the company, I lead the technology search and
acquisition process and coordinate activities for global licensing and business development,
while overseeing the clinical development efforts across the organization to advance the
mission of Generex. Additionally, I have worked with the CEO to define the corporate strategy
and communicate to shareholders through public relations efforts.

Executive Vice President, Research & Development (January 1, 2017 – Present)
Chief Operating Officer (2012 – 2014)
NuGenerex Immuno-Oncology (formerly Antigen Express) ws a subsidiary of Generex Biotechnology
with a patented immune system modulation technology called Ii-Key. A primary focus of my work with
NGIO has been the spin out of the subsidiary as a separate public company, which has been
accomplished in preparation for a listing on a major exchange. To accomplish the spin out, we signed
a research agreement with Merck to conduct a Phase II trial of AE37 (Ii-Key-HER2/neu) in
combination with Keytruda for the treatment of triple negative breast cancer, which is ongoing.
From 2012 to 2014, I was hired to rescue the AE37 breast cancer clinical development program,
