EXECUTIVE TEAM

Scott R. Pancoast, CEO (and Company Founder and Board Member):

Scott Pancoast was CEO and board member of Lpath [NASDAQ:LPTN] from 2005 through 2014 and was Chairman of the company from 1999 through 2010. He evolved this start-up from incubation at San Diego State University to eventual public-company status and raised about $150 million, with more than $50 million coming from non-dilutive government grants and from partnership proceeds. He forged worldwide partnerships with Merck-Serono and Pfizer and attracted equity investments from J&J and Biogen Idec. As EVP of Western States Investment Group from 1994 until 2004, he invested in and managed a portfolio of startups ranging from Endonetics (sold to Medtronic) to Mpex (sold to Axcan) to DermTech (currently in revenue ramp). He has served on over a dozen boards, including three public ones. Mr. Pancoast holds a BA in economics summa cum laude from the University of Virginia and an MBA with honors from Harvard Business School.

Thomas Murray, VP Business Development:

Tom is an executive who has served in several leadership capacities over the years. Tom spent the early part of his career in a large corporation, primarily in sales, operations, and business development. Subsequently, he was one of three principals in a high-tech startup industry bringing a new device to market. In 2000, he landed at a nationwide sanitation services company and served as president of that organization for 13 years. Given that the average account size generated well over $1 million of annual revenues, Tom was the driving force of the business development and strategy functions. In 2013 he was instrumental in the sale of that organization to the largest competitor in that industry. He then served as an executive vice president for three years with that organization, overseeing a $210m operating unit, with about 4,000 employees covering the eastern third of the U.S. Over the last two years, Tom has consulted with two high-tech start-ups on business development and general strategic issues. Tom has a degree in political science from the University of Cincinnati.
