Justin is a Partner at Eclipse, where he collaborates with founders working at the intersection of multiple disciplines. He is particularly passionate about novel approaches to complex issues in infrastructure in healthcare and life sciences.

Justin works with companies building technologies, products, and services that enable the development and, ultimately, the foundation upon which the next generation of healthcare and life sciences advancements can thrive. His focus is on building the infrastructure of these industries, closing the gap between scientific development and clinical deployment.

Prior to joining Eclipse, Justin built and led the commercial operations at Misfit, a digital health company acquired by the Fossil Group for more than $250M. Before Misfit, Justin managed the commercialization efforts in the foods, fuels, and chemicals spaces at Synthetic Genomics (SGI), a leading synthetic biology company.

Justin received his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from UCSB and his MBA from MIT Sloan. He sits on the Industry Alliance Board of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) and the Commercial Advisory Board of the National Science Foundation Center for Cell Manufacturing Technology (CMat).

Justin enjoys skiing, mountain biking, and sailing and leads the Kathryn Butler Foundation in honor of his late wife, where he is working to support the needs of those battling cancer and bereaved children.
