About us

In 2018, Brad joined a cell therapy company in the Bay Area where he learned first-hand how extraordinary these medicines are but also how difficult they are to make. This is because each one is made from a patient’s own cells, which creates two big problems: 1. the challenging logistics of collecting cells from advanced patients is a huge access barrier and 2. a patient’s exposure to chemotherapy damages the cells needed to make their therapy. Like his colleagues, Brad was frustrated by these limitations and didn’t have a solution yet.

Then, in early 2020, Brad learned that a good friend was diagnosed with lymphoma. Faced with the possibility of imminent chemotherapy, she quickly arranged to freeze her eggs so they would be spared exposure. The physicians who informed her of this option empowered her with a choice to take an action that could meaningfully improve her outlook.

Inspired by this turn of events, Brad realized how he could help patients get better access to more effective cell therapies. Achieve Clinics was born.

In 2021, Brad moved to Los Angeles from San Francisco. He found that the innovative culture that inspired him to pursue Achieve Clinics initially was enhanced by the hustle and creativity of his new home.

He soon met Paul at a networking event, and knew right away that he found a future partner who deeply understood what Achieve Clinics was about and why it must succeed. Paul’s expertise in business development was the perfect complement to Brad’s technical background. Today, they are the founding team of Achieve Clinics.
