    bio: Prior to Argon, I worked at Flatiron Health (Roche) where I led the company's first Analytics Services pilot with a large biopharma. This eventually turned into a business unit, where I saw the highly manual approach to insights generation across drug development. At Flatiron I was responsible for $6M+ ARR in enterprise sales. I am a lawyer by training (JD at Univ. of Washington) and prior to law school I started my career at Amazon.
