Kent and I were peers at The Jackson Laboratory. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Kent’s ability to manage his customers, as well as his teams. He worked with the executive team and created robust roadmaps for our commercial products. He is a strong proponent for staff, strong communicator, and strong influencing skills.
