BOSTON,
Aug. 22,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Dotmatics, a leader in R&D
scientific software connecting science, data, and decision-making,
today announced the appointment of Michael
Swartz as Chief Strategy Officer, reporting to CEO
Thomas Swalla. Previously Swartz was
Senior Vice President of Enterprise Product Strategy closely
involved in the development of Dotmatics Luma®, a
Scientific Intelligence Platform.
Swartz was an early pioneer in the digital
transformation of today's life sciences R&D labs. And now he
will play a vital role in driving Dotmatics' long-term strategic
initiatives to continue to enhance the company's value to its
customers.
Dotmatics provides solutions to scientists that
improve the speed and efficiency of the R&D process. It
recently introduced Luma®, the first multimodal
Scientific Intelligence Platform to help scientists unify workflows
and dataflows and then analyze diverse data at scale for better
decision-making. Built on Databricks, Dotmatics Luma will help
researchers pull data into the platform from scientific
applications, databases, and lab instruments, an important
development for scientists who typically struggle with critical
data trapped in silos. Luma can handle both the volume and
complexity of data at a nearly exponential scale, and it's built to
do so in an intuitive way that scientists can easily manage.
"Michael's experience over the past 25 years
allows him to understand our customers' challenges with extreme
empathy," said Thomas Swalla, Chief
Executive Officer of Dotmatics. "He deeply understands science and
software and his extensive experience marrying these two into
transformative solutions will be crucial as he partners with our
product teams and our broader organization to combine our
mission-critical applications together with Luma to drive an
AI-powered Lab-in-a-Loop for our customers."
Prior to joining Dotmatics, Michael was the Vice
President of Software Solutions and Strategy at PerkinElmer
Informatics (Revvity), where he led strategic planning and
execution for the overall product portfolio including the Signals
platform, ChemDraw, and Spotfire. Michael has also served as Vice
President of Knowledge Management at CambridgeSoft, a pioneer in
the Electronic Lab Notebook market.
"I joined Dotmatics at a transformational moment
in our industry. The advancements in AI/ML and accelerated
computing alongside the various new modalities of therapeutics will
have an enormous positive impact on our industry and our society,"
said Swartz. "It's not very often in a career that you can see
such concrete progress toward such a goal in such a short time
frame. But Dotmatics has built and acquired best-in-class
scientific applications that are key components of scientist and
researcher multimodal workflows and we're now unifying those with
Luma to power AI discovery in science."
