My relationship with Sempresto is based on my relationship with Dr. Pribitkin. Dr. Pribitkin was involved in a complicated set of surgeries for my son, where he was the lead surgeon and basically quarterbacked the entire day of operations. I’ll never forget his concern, care and commitment to drive a successful outcome for my son. When he approached me with his vision for Sempresto I knew he’d provide that same level of concern, care and commitment to achieve a successful solution. Doctor Pribitkin has assembled an exceptional team that brings the ability to turn his vision into a real product opportunity. The team is experienced, committed and competent. They have developed a functional prototype, build a strong intellectual property portfolio and establish a clear path towards manufacturing and regulatory approval. Having spent my career building and leading businesses, I understand how difficult it is to translate a transformative idea into something tangible. This exceptional team has the ability to execute with focus, commitment and determination. Sempresto still has important work ahead but I believe the team has the passion, experience and commitment to make this product a reality. I’m excited to support them and to see Sempresto become a potentially life-saving innovation to patients and families.
