Knome Appoints New VP Sales and Marketing

CAMBRIDGE, MA, USA, April 14, 2014 – Knome, Inc. has appointed Josh Forsythe as new Vice President, Sales and Marketing. Josh has over 10 years of executive sales and marketing experience at Golden Helix, Inc. where he helped transform the start-up into one of the most respected bioinformatics companies in the world.

“Josh brings leadership to Knome in commercial marketing, strategic account management, and sales process engineering as well as a passion for technology adoption and empowerment,” said Wolfgang Daum, CEO of Knome.

“What excites me most about Knome is that the company is in a strong position to help smaller clinical labs capitalize on the promise of next generation sequencing,” said Josh Forsythe. “For years, high-throughput genomics was limited to a few large labs because they were the only ones with sufficient expertise and that could afford the sequencing equipment and related costs. As sequencing costs decline, smaller labs are attempting to add NGS capabilities at a greater rate than ever before. However, what many still lack is a turnkey, scalable solution to the informatics challenges that NGS technology presents. Knome, with its knoSYS™ platform of intuitive analytical software and powerful grid computing systems, is uniquely positioned to address the needs of this growing market segment. The company has also built an exceptional level of expertise over the years though the successful completion of over 140 genomic analysis services projects. Knome’s ability to share this expertise will be invaluable for labs getting started in NGS.”
