What excites you most about the work you do at Acumen?
We’ve assembled a good group of people and it’s nice to work with the team we have.
Which of Acumen’s four values (People, Integrity, Innovation, and Perseverance) resonates most with your work and role?
It’s hard to pick one as they’re all equally important. If pressed, I’d say Integrity is the most applicable for what we do in Finance/Accounting.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to join our company and contribute to our mission in Alzheimer’s research?
Finance/Accounting is a support function and doesn’t directly contribute to Acumen’s research. However, we do have the responsibility to ensure investor’s funds are being used in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and controls, and to advance the company’s mission of finding a viable Alzheimer’s treatment. All of us know how devastating AD is, so our collective work, if successful has the opportunity to significantly affect many people’s lives.
Outside of work, what are some of your hobbies or interests that you enjoy in your free time?
I enjoy anything outdoors: cycling, hiking, gardening. I can’t miss a day of Wordle either.
What is a quote that is meaningful to you and why?
I believe Voltaire said something like, “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good”. To me, this means we should always strive for a better way, even if it’s an imperfect way.
