Commercializing a technology requires knowing and finding excellent people and companies. Dr. Schreiber has expanded his network through being on the boards of the Indiana Health Industry Forum, the IUPUI School of Engineering, the Indiana chapter of the International Council on Systems Engineering, Rose Hulman, EDF Ventures, and several life science startups.

Join us and learn more on how you can grow and leverage your network to effectively get things done.

Dr. Schreiber joined Roche Diagnostics (previously Boehringer Mannheim Germany) in 1986 and moved to the US in 1994.  He held several functions in R&D (analytics, process development) and Operations (quality system, purchasing), before he assumed responsibility for the business unit R&D in the US organization in 1996.  Being responsible for a multi-project pipeline where project teams are in different locations as well as come from different cultures, it was imperative, not only to continuously improve the development philosophy and tools, but also to work consistently with the information and knowledge created across all projects in the pipeline. In 2001 Dr.Schreiber accepted the position of VP R&D and Business Development for a newly created business, MyDoc.com, wherein Roche Diagnostics built an internet-based medical practice. In his latest endeavor for Roche Diagnostics Dr. Schreiber commercialized technology, which Roche Diagnostics was not using actively, to create more value and to benefit the Central Indiana Region.

Being conscious of the fact that knowledge and people contribute vastly to the success of R&D and business in general, Dr. Schreiber is a strong promoter of Knowledge Management in all endeavors and has experimented repeatedly to find optimal ways to create a knowledge creating and sharing culture and to support the necessary underlying tool structure. While at Roche, he co-chaired the Roche Diagnostics Knowledge Board promoting Knowledge Management company wide.

After his retirement from Roche, Dr. Schreiber works as Business Development consultant in the Life Sciences and has joined the Boards of The Cientive Group Inc. and AION Diagnostics, which he chairs. He has founded and uses as his business platform White Arrow Consulting LLC (www.whitearrowconsulting.com). From 2005 to 2007 he worked with Quadraspec Inc. as Chief Operating Officer. From 2007 to 2010, he worked with Physical Logic AG as VP R&D, CEO, and Director of its Diabetes Business Unit. Currently, he serves as CEO of Access Health Wealth.

Dr. Schreiber holds a Ph.D. in physics from Giessen University, Germany, specialized in biophysics and was a post doc at the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences in Research Triangle Park, NC, USA.

He was a board member of the Center for Enterprise Leadership at the Boston University and the Connectivity Industry Consortium, is Chairman of the Indiana Health Industry Forum and holds several other board positions in professional, civic, and art organizations, where he continues to work in an interdisciplinary context.
