School board member Brian Meshkin is also the President and CEO of Salugen, a dietary supplement company. On his website he openly boasts about his “success as a biotechnology entrepreneur,” noting also that he was recognized by San Diego Magazine in 2008 as “A Power To Be” in biotechnology.
Actually he only received an honorable mention.
Though his company was acquired by Sherbrooke Equity in October of 2008, Brian continued to lead the firm. A press release issued at that time gave the impression of a bright future for Salugen.
"We believe that Salugen is the company of our future, as addiction along with other issues run rampant in our communities, both here and abroad. They can help to shed light on the problem and create solutions to these issues in our lives," said Lee Leblanc, Managing Director of Sherbrooke Equity AG. Specific terms of the transaction were not announced but the Company announced that the transaction would be accretive to Salugen shareholders and would address debt holders of the company as well.”
The company of the future appears to be struggling to stay in the present. Earlier this year, Salugen closed its office on Berger Road Columbia
If that's his idea of success I'd hate to see what he regards as failure.
