As the current director of RAMP – the Regional Accelerator and Mentoring Program – located in Roanoke, Va. and vice president of entrepreneurship of Verge I am uniquely positioned to coach and connect small technology and biotechnology companies to seek out international trade as an early and promising aspect of their business models. I bring direct experience in international sales and business development from years of work with technical companies in our region. During that time I specifically focused on learnings related to ITAR, logistics and business development in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Germany, Poland and Canada.
