About the speaker
In the first part of her career, Dr. Ferguson was awarded two pre-doctoral and two post-doctoral fellowship grants for cancer research and published 15 peer-reviewed scientific articles. She transitioned into the commercial sector where she spent more than 13 years in strategic marketing and business development within global biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. At these companies, she was responsible for closing multi-million dollar contracts with commercial and non-profit entities, management of multi–disciplinary project teams and leading development and execution of business strategy and commercialization plans. She used all of this experience to create Bay Area Older Adults. Anne received her Ph.D. from UC San Diego, pursued her American Cancer Society postdoctoral fellowship to identify new breast tumor markers at The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and completed her M.B.A. specializing in finance and entrepreneurship at San Jose State University. She loves the outdoors, especially backpacking in the open spaces and kayaking in Elkhorn Slough.
