The founder line
The people who run the desk.

Nicolas Hubacz, M.S.
Founder · June 2023 · Phoenix, Arizona
Nicolas Hubacz, M.S. is the founder of NH Sponsorships, from June 2023, in Phoenix, Arizona. He holds an M.S. in Biotechnology Enterprise from Northeastern University and a B.A. in Biology from Wartburg College.
His public profile describes a focus on emerging technologies, especially cell and gene therapy, biotech and pharma, and healthcare. He also works in clinical-products business development at Magstim for the US West, sits on the advisory board of Drug Target Review, and mentors a biotech club at UT Southwestern Medical Center.
Those seats are his. They are not products of this desk. Earlier work on the same profile includes Title21 Health Solutions in Phoenix, DataQG in Boston, and research assistance at Northeastern.

Leona Briggs
People desk · Phoenix, Arizona
Leona keeps the people desk: how a small internet-news room describes its work, and how a reader would ask to join it.
Her background, in this portrait, is healthcare communications hiring in the Southwest, with a bias toward editors who can read a methods section and still write a clear sentence.
She is the talent side of the desk page. A note about that work stays in the browser on the Phoenix page.
RO
Rafael Okoye
Community editor · Phoenix, Arizona
Rafael reads the healthcare, biotech, and pharma line and decides which science note belongs in front of which door.
He came from a clinical newsletter, where the job was to mark one finding and leave the rest of the paper alone.
He is the mid-level reading role that matches an internet-news desk aimed at those three industries.

Hannah Cho
Partnerships · Phoenix, Arizona
Hannah holds the partnership side of the public about: a company, a product, and a place in the community.
She has sat with biotech and pharmaceutical brand teams and translated a deck into one sentence a professional reader will finish.
