Boston Voyager interviews our President and CEO, David Zell, about addressing the needs created by new technologies and life sciences.

Today we’d like to introduce you to David Zell.

So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.

I am the founder, President and CEO of Logix, which began in 1984. I created my company to address the needs of the new burgeoning markets created by new technologies and life sciences.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?

During the life cycle of Logix we have experienced continual growth as the markets we served have evolved, creating ever-changing needs for new skills. We have been impacted significantly three times in the life of Logix.

The first was the positive impact from 1998 to 2001 by the meteoric growth of the internet and related technologies. Additionally, we witnessed the growth of life sciences from incubator companies to the larger biotech and pharmaceutical  companies of today.

So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Logix, Inc story. Tell us more about the business.
