Kenneth Savin

My name is Kenneth Savin and I received my Ph.D. training at the University of Utah in 1996 and after a postdoctoral fellowship at Sloan Kettering Cancer Research Center as an Organic Chemist I moved on into industry. I have worked on a variety of projects solving complex issues related to chemistry and the biological effects of compounds. I was trained as part of a Lean Six Sigma program to be a Six Sigma Black Belt and have gone on to run more than 10 projects on various types of problems in industry and for non-profit organizations. I moved into Operations and ran internal and external operations for my division and then moved to run groups of biologists and chemists in various screening and discovery efforts. I am an adjunct professor at a local University where I have taught a course on advanced Synthetic Organic Chemistry for the last 9 years and continue to develop and deliver courses on various topics to individuals in industrial settings. I am active in sustainability efforts in my community and teach people how to decrease their impact on the environment at work and at home.
I have proven track record of innovative and significant scientific contributions of the highest order and well established scientific leadership experience at the individual, team and organization levels. I have directed teams to successful/logical conclusions and have a skill for contributing to and leading innovation efforts.
