The new executives are John Cronin and Dominic Klyve, Ph.D. They are tasked with both furthering the development of the Company’s non-invasive diagnostic technology platform and building relationships with potential strategic partners.

"John and Dominic bring extensive technology leadership and research experience to the Know Labs team,” said Ron Erickson, CEO. "In their new roles they provide intellectual leadership to both drive our technology development and real-world business acumen to assist in bringing our platform to market through strategic relationships with global leaders in the med tech, pharma and consumer marketplace.”

John Cronin joins the day-to-day team as Interim Chief Technology Officer. Previously, Cronin was elected as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. He has been a strategic advisor and consultant to Know Labs, supporting the Company’s expanding patent portfolio and securing its global leadership as the top patent holder in the non-invasive blood glucose monitoring category. Cronin will oversee the Company’s product development and technology strategy and help the Know Labs team develop test protocols to address research and development questions. In addition, Cronin spearheads the Know Labs "skunkworks” activities which explores new applications for the Company’s platform technology, an example of which is the recently announced automobile steering wheel application of our sensor platform. Cronin is the founder and CEO of ipCapital Group, Inc., a leading global advisory company on intellectual property strategy and monetization. Cronin began his career at IBM where he was the sole inventor of breakthrough chip design technology and later, he became IBM’s top inventor. He went on to create the IBM Patent Factory, growing IBM’s patent portfolio from ninth to first in the world catapulting IBM’s IP licensing from $30 million to over $2 billion a year. Today, Mr. Cronin has approximately 1800 patents and applications worldwide.
