In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Melissa Sherman, founding CEO of MOBILion Systems, Inc. Melissa shares how her Midwestern upbringing and early career at DuPont shaped her blend of science and business acumen, transforming her from a researcher into a CEO. She talks about discovering her passion for building businesses around complex technology, drawing on experiences ranging from textiles and fashion to investment and startup incubation.  Melissa dives into MOBILion’s mission to “reveal what others leave unseen” through advanced instruments that push the boundaries of measurement and analysis. Melissa explains how their technology helps industries—from pharmaceuticals to food testing—characterize molecules more quickly and accurately, saving time and money while improving outcomes. She discusses the challenges of focus in a small, venture-backed company with wide-ranging applications, and how MOBILion strategically balances innovation with execution.
