He is looking forward to visiting the BioLabs offices around the country and meeting the staff and resident companies. "BioLabs has a diverse landscape, interesting people and a very exciting roadmap forward. I can make a difference by listening, creating processes and building governance, while maintaining the entrepreneurial culture that allows smart, capable self-starters to thrive," he says.

An avid runner, Freeman recently completed the London marathon. He looks forward to logging some miles along the Charles River during breaks in his schedule at BioLabs' Cambridge headquarters.
