About Novatec G2
What I Do
Novatec G2 is my platform for Fractional Executive work and consulting. I support CEOs and founders of young and promising biopharmaceutical, healthcare, and health tech companies, typically seed-stage through series B. I serve in various capacities, including operations, strategy, research, customer experience, outreach and communications, and product development. I offer a fractional executive model with a fixed hourly rate or retainer, allowing me to efficiently serve your business according to the type, quantity, and timing of leadership you need.
My Background
I am an accomplished changemaker in global clinical research within large pharmaceutical and healthcare companies like Johnson & Johnson and UnitedHealth Group, academic organizations like Scripps Research, and digital health startups like Lore Health. I've delivered solutions through industry collaborations, including TransCelerate, the Investigator Databank, and tech partnerships with companies like Apple and iRhythm. I've translated, validated, and scaled end-user research to make trials more doable for participants and sites and spearheaded Johnson & Johnson's program for decentralized clinical trials & direct-to-participant population health research. For my work in innovation, I was named a PharmaVoice 100 honoree and winner of the 2017 Clinical & Research Excellence (CARE) award.
Before this, I managed numerous global clinical trials in pharmaceutical and biotech companies, overseeing trials in patients and healthy volunteers of all phases and multiple therapeutic areas. I consistently achieved trial recruitment on time, within budget, and impeccable quality, contributing to the regulatory approval of several life-changing drugs and vaccines.
I hold a Master of Public Health in Epidemiology from Emory University, a Master of Business Administration in Pharmaceutical Management from Drexel University, and a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry from the University of Idaho.
What's In A Name?
Novatec G2 is named in honor of my father, Frank Felicione, Ph.D., a brilliant mechanical engineer whose lifelong work has advanced space exploration, nuclear waste management, and the development of clean and sustainable nuclear energy systems. Novatec was the name of my dad's independent consulting business, and G2 stands for "Generation 2," representing me! The atom in my logo reflects my father's nuclear engineering legacy, and the heart nucleus represents G2's focus on advancing human health.
