Cory Cromer

Dr. Cromer worked in the biotechnology industry for both Fortune 100 companies and as a CEO for a startup biotechnology company that was bought, before coming back for his doctoral work. Most of his positions dealt with product management and new product development. In 11 years, he was a part of over 23 new product launches. He reports that getting to see a product go from an idea to being sold worldwide has always sparked his passion for innovation.

Cory states that he always knew that he would get a Ph.D. and pursue academia “I hope to be able to research my areas of interest; innovation, new product development, and entrepreneurship. In addition, I hope to be able to bring both an academic and practitioner’s point of view to the classroom.”
