Graphenea is expanding its business capacities by hiring a new Business Development Manager for the US market. Our new staff member, Tom Fedolak, earned his B.S. in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology from Michigan State University in 2010 and started his career in the bio-chemical industry at Draths Corporation as a molecular biologist. He then furthered his education at Georgetown University earning his M.S. in Biotechnology in 2013. While in Washington D.C., he transitioned from the laboratory to business development by working at the investment banking firm FOCUS LLC. After graduating, he moved to Boston where he furthered his experience in business development by joining U.K. Trade & Investment as a business development associate at the British consulate and most recently working at the non-profit plasmid repository Addgene as a business development analyst.

Tom will reside at Graphenea’s office in Cambridge, MA, that the company opened in October 2014. The Cambridge office services the US market for graphene products, but also acts as a liaison point for the company’s research ties with MIT and Harvard. In addition, Graphenea’s Cambridge office houses an “Applications Laboratory” to help develop custom graphene materials, with application focus on advanced polymers, thermal interface materials, energy storage, and (bio)sensors.
