Meet Our New Colleague Kevin Cook

May 17, 2018 | Genovis Team |

 

We are happy and proud to have you on board, Kevin. Welcome to Genovis!

 

Tell us a bit about yourself.
Even though a Focused Generalist does not make perfect sense, I think it fits since I have a broad life sciences discovery background with a specificity towards LC-MS and orthogonal technology.

 

If you were to describe yourself using only one word – what would that word be?

Curious.

 

Tell us a bit about your previous working life.

My on-the-job learning experiences, with small and large companies, started with DNA/RNA focused laboratory work, moved into LC-MS to support small molecule pharmacokinetics and drug metabolism, and has migrated into a focus on providing biologics sample preparation technology for LC-MS analysis.

 

What will your main focus be here at Genovis?

On behalf of the Genovis team, I have the pleasure of building relationships with scientists in the western US. I am excited to learn more about the challenges my colleagues in the industry are facing and how our team can help.

 

What do you believe will be the biggest opportunity in your new position as a Senior Application and Market Area Manager?

Genovis has built a customer centric reputation that shows in current products and formats, and how LC-MS scientists are utilizing these tools. Genovis has demonstrated the ability to rapidly respond to customer requests and I am looking forward to helping promote current products while building for the future through customer feedback and collaboratory efforts.
