Mike Tomas will serve as a board advisor to Rokk3r Labs and its portfolio companies.
Tomas, who has worked on pioneering technologies over the
past two decades, is CEO of BioHeart and president of the ASTRI Group, the
current chairman of Florida International University's
Global Entrepreneurship
Center and an inductee into the Miami Dade
College and WACE Halls of
Fame for business. A longtime judge for the Miami Herald's Business Plan
Challenge, Tomas was recently appointed by Governor Rick Scott to serve on
Workforce Florida's
state Board of Directors. “For any entrepreneur to succeed they need to be
surrounded by the best people with the best experience and we feel we have that
with Mike,” said German Montoya, managing partner with Rokk3r Labs.
As a board advisor, Tomas will advise the company on investor relations, strategy, and mentor CEOs of Rokk3r Labs’ companies. “I see over 300 business plans every year and the minute I heard Rokk3r’s story, I realized the power and potential this company has to change the way we think about startups,” said Tomas. “I believe Rokk3r’s portfolio will disrupt several industries and I think their team, strategy and model are trending in the right direction.”
Rokk3r Labs, based in Miami Beach, is a technology portfolio company that develops and launches companies, including 27 new companies in the past 16 months.
