Biography of Cristopher Grunewald.

From 2008 through 2010, Mr. Grunewald was the Operations Vice President of a Midwest institutional healthcare business incubator, where he reported directly to the chief executive officer. Mr. Grunewald led corporate development and implementation of all day-to-day operations and due-diligence for a joint venture to successfully commercialize healthcare technology developed at a regional healthcare treatment and research center. As the sole operations executive, he served as key team builder while providing significant expertise in due diligence, technology transfer, underwriting and financing. Mr. Grunewald performed comprehensive operational execution to support the joint-venture intellectual property commercialization from 2008-2010. This commercialization formed the core technology to create eight companies. He designed over three hundred due diligence projects, and then recruited a worldwide research team to complete them. This was direct decision support for licensing, legal, start-up processes and revenue building. He launched a non-diluted equity and federal marketplace program to identify and secure federal funding and contracts for each of the sister companies.

From 2002 through 2007, Mr. Grunewald was a Vice President at a private equity investment firm where he designed and oversaw real estate investment strategy and conducted start-up underwriting processes. Mr. Grunewald selected and supervised consultants and employees for all executive functions including legal, capital, financial analysis, accounting and controls, and risk management. He directed a management team that developed and managed a regional securities representative network, and hired the sales team, as well as managing all start-up, operational and marketing processes.
