Vé Léandre, Ph.D.

My career has moved across the full arc of scientific innovation. At Genentech (Roche Group), I worked embedded in teams spanning the product life cycle — from research and development through product development and commercial strategy — helping lead and coordinate complex, multi-million-dollar programs. At Brown University and the Providence VA Medical Center, I managed international and academic–industry collaborations and worked closely with a technology ventures office on the legal and operational side of the patenting process.

That mix gives me a real feel for the coordination, governance, and strategic challenges organizations face on both sides of the academic–industry line. More recently, I've supported international AI firms on rubric design, model evaluation, and assessing generative AI performance on complex STEM, imaging, and reasoning tasks.

I work independently and pragmatically. Engagements are remote and contract-based, for Dutch, American, and international clients. Whether it's interim program leadership, portfolio governance, or bringing AI into a team's workflow, the focus is the same: clarity, momentum, and decisions that hold up.
