The retired U.S. Marine Corps Colonel and bio-pharma executive holds more than 25 years of experience in leading teams from five to 600 in achieving financial and operational growth initiatives.
“We’re thrilled to have Christina onboard as I transition to my full-time work in leading Cognitive’s spinoff, Saperi Systems,” said Emory Fry, M.D., co-founder of Cognitive Medical Systems. “As a military veteran and business executive, she brings a unique blend of senior government, defense, and corporate experience that will help catapult the company to new heights.

While serving in the Marine Corps, Murphy planned, coordinated, executed, and supervised a wide array of logistics functions, including supply, maintenance, transportation, general engineering, and health services in a variety of environments, including stints in Iraq and Afghanistan.
