Who is Travis
Bio
I grew up in rural Sauk County, Wisconsin on my family’s dairy farm and graduated from Sauk Prairie High School. Afterwards I studied at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry.
My career in pharmaceutical Research & Development started at Abbott in 1998 as a bench scientist. Over the past 25 years I have held multiple global leadership roles within Abbott and now AbbVie. Beginning in 2012 I was the clinical project manager overseeing AbbVie’s clinical trials in Japan to cure HCV. Subsequently I was accountable for their global clinical trials for treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (a form of blood cancer). As part of my responsibilities, I oversaw budgets (over $130MM) and timelines (spanning over 4 years) to deliver important milestones. The launch of these pharmaceutical products were key corporate goals held by our Senior Leadership. Currently I am Director of Research Operations in US Medical Affairs overseeing AbbVie’s eye care products.
In my spare time I love to travel with my wife Angela and our two children. I also enjoy spending time boating with them as well as waterskiing. Prior to starting a family we were active volunteers for Shorewood Cocker Rescue, a Wisconsin based Cocker Spaniel dog rescue. One key accomplishment during that time was my helping to lead the establishment of their annual dog walk, which has become their biggest fundraiser each year. I'm an avid Milwaukee Brewers and Green Bay Packers fan. However, as a UW alumnus the Wisconsin Badgers are my favorite teams to follow.
