Satish has operated at the frontier of science, venture, and commercialization, dedicated to transforming breakthrough science into value and impact. With a foundation in academic research transitioned to a career commercializing technologies and building ventures, he has shaped growth stories across a spectrum of industries—from robotics and advanced materials to regenerative agriculture, critical minerals, logistics, and energy.

At Newlab, where he served as Chief Product Officer & Chief Science Officer, Satish architected and scaled the company’s Applied Innovation practice, unlocking new revenue streams and accelerating commercialization across a portfolio of emerging technologies. Under his leadership, Newlab became a commercial and venture platform — generating innovative projects, partnerships and growth outcomes with startups, industry-leading corporations and public sector agencies.
