Marketing Plan for a Robotic Point of Use Vending System fo the Global Life Sciences Sector

In 2001 on behalf of venture capital investor Momentum Ventures, Jason Bresnehan was appointed the interim CEO of Biovend after the departure of the founding CEO.  Biovend develops web enabled secure vending freezers to dispense biological reagents in medical research laboratories.

In June 2003 , after recruiting new operational and engineering management, getting the R&D program on track, concluding a trial sale with one of the world's leading life science biological reagents manufacturers Invitrogen Corporation, and negotiating a Series B venture capital round , Jason put together an extensive strategic marketing plan for the Company's entry into the global life sciences sector.

The international marketing plan also included strategies and tactics to penetrate smaller market segments including Surgical, Pharmaceutical Manufacture, Secure & Traceable Products (e.g. frozen stored adhesives in the aerospace sector).
