Amphion Innovations appoints Katharine Cushing as strategic investment advisor based in NY
Amphion Innovations PLC (AIM: AMP) said it has appointed Katharine Cushing as strategic investment advisor to assist Amphion and its partner companies in fund raising activities. She will be based in New York.
Cushing has extensive experience in working with high net worth individuals and families and assisting them in identifying investment opportunities. She serves on the board of directors of the Arab Bankers Association of North America (ABANA) as well as the board of Providence Facilities Management, an affiliate of the Providence Performing Arts Center and is a member of the International Advisory Board for the Anthony Quinn Foundation.
Most recently she has been managing director at Detwiler Fenton Group Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Detwiler Fenton & Co, a Boston based financial services company.
Cushing began her career in 1983, at one of the oldest, privately-owned investment firms in the US, H.C. Wainwright & Co. where she was a fourth generation member of the Clark family, the majority owners and controlling partners for over 100 years.
Amphion builds shareholder value in high growth companies in the medical and technology sectors by using a focused, hands-on company building approach, based on decades of experience in both the US and UK.
It does not invest in speculative technologies requiring long development timeframes or excessive capital investment; it looks for defensible core intellectual property and know-how for long-term competitive advantage, and growth potential in very large markets of at least US$1 billion in size. Each partner company is chosen with the goal of achieving an exit valuation in excess of US$100 million.
Amphion’s investments include 38.5 percent in Motif Biosciences, a 19.99 percent stake in Kromek, 20 percent in Myconostica Ltd, 15.3 percent in Firestar Software, 8.5 percent in Axcess International, 38.5 percent in Motif Biosciences, 50 percent in MSA Holdings B.S.C., 24.4 percent in M2M Imaging Corp, 25 percent in Private Markets, 14.6 percent in WellGen and 100 percent in DataTern.
Only last week, the company announced it has signed a partnership agreement with Kuwait University aimed at establishing and operating a technology transfer unit (TTU) at KU. This facility will be the first in-house TTU in Kuwait. Amphion has an established presence in the region, both through its partner company Motif BioSciences and its investor base, which includes members of prominent Gulf families.
Amphion has already been active for many years in commercialising IP in a number of universities in Europe and the US.
