Somogyi to lead Know Labs’ “Skunkworks” Program
and drive global revenues.
Know Labs, Inc. (NYSE American: KNW), an emerging leader in
non-invasive medical diagnostic technology, today announced the
appointment of Chris Somogyi as President, International. With over
40 years of experience in commercializing innovation across related
industries, Somogyi brings a wealth of expertise to lead the
Company's “Skunkworks” Program and global patent licensing
efforts.
In his role, Somogyi will focus on identifying new applications
of Know Labs’ extensive intellectual property (IP) portfolio
consisting of over 300 patents issued, pending and in-process and
covering more than 100 medical and non-medical applications. As
part of his responsibilities, he will work with potential strategic
partners and customers on a Rest of the World (RoW) product that
exploits Know Labs’ continuous glucose monitor, the KnowU™ for use
as a screening device to support diagnosis in large, diverse
populations across Asia, Africa, South America and the Middle East
where diabetes incidence is at near pandemic levels.
Somogyi has an extensive background in biomedical engineering
and product innovation, with over 20 issued patents to his name.
His experience includes managing intellectual property at Stanford
University, leading innovation grant funds for the New Zealand
government and holding product development and incubation roles at
esteemed organizations such as SRI International and Xerox PARC
(Palo Alto Research Center). At the world’s largest IP fund, the $6
Billon Intellectual Ventures, Somogyi co-managed a $750 million
global invention fund. He has served as a partner in medical and
agricultural technology funds in the United States and Japan. His
experience in technology monetization has an expansive global
reach. His practical experience is built upon a B.S. in Biomedical
Engineering from Purdue, an M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from
Tulane and an MBA from the University of Washington.
"We are thrilled to welcome Chris Somogyi to our executive team
as President, International," said Ron Erickson, CEO and Chairman
at Know Labs. "His unparalleled expertise in commercialization of
IP and his proven track record of driving innovation and building
strategic partnerships make him an invaluable addition to our
Company. With Somogyi’s leadership, we are moving aggressively with
our ‘Skunkworks’ Program to derive revenue in worldwide markets
from the significant IP portfolio surrounding our platform
technology.”
Somogyi's appointment as President, International, allows the
Company to maintain its core focus on bringing the first
non-invasive continuous glucose monitor to the marketplace. While
the Company moves toward FDA clearance of its technology, Somogyi
will work to drive revenue from non-core fields of use of the Know
Labs platform technology.
