Prior to this, Gregg was President and Chief Operating Officer of Ion Torrent, where he helped pioneer a novel semiconductor-based DNA sequencing platform that was ultimately acquired by Life Technologies. Earlier in his career, he served as Executive in Residence at RW Baird / Baird Venture Partners, contributing to investment thesis development, deal flow, and industry partnerships within the life sciences tools market, and played a role in raising BVP Fund III, and also held executive leadership roles as Chief Commercial Officer of Cellular Dynamics International and Senior Vice President of Sales and Global Operations at Affymetrix, Inc..
