Sean Power is a technologist and entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience in creating products and services for his clients. Most recently, Sean co-founded Infinata, a leading provider of information services to the pharmaceutical and financial services industries. From inception in 2000 until his departure in 2010, Sean was responsible for all areas of the company’s growth, including product creation, technology development, sales and marketing, client service and operations. Under Sean’s leadership, Infinata grew from a 2 person start-up to one of the fastest growing information companies in the market, with over 500 corporate clients and tens of thousands of users. The Financial Times acquired Infinata in September of 2007 as a key part of the FT strategy to diversify into subscription based online revenue streams. While at Infinata, Sean created BioPharm Insight a premium information service for the pharmaceutical industry. BioPharm Insight is used by clinical research organizations (CRO) to support their business development efforts, by pharmaceutical and biotech firms to support their licensing and corporate development information needs, and by financial services firms to fuel key investing decisions. Sean was also responsible for the creation of several other online information services, including BioPharm Clinical, HNW Insight, and WealthTracker. In many of these efforts, Sean was able to develop strong partnerships with other technology providers (Financial Information Group, i3 Informatics, among many others) to the mutual benefit of Infinata, the partner, and the shared client base. The key theme running through all these activities is a willingness and ability to bring resources together to create something new, exciting, and valuable for clients.
Prior to founding Infinata, Sean was an analyst at Putnam Investments in their corporate development group, working on mergers and acquisitions, international expansion, and alternative investment products. Prior to that, Sean was a senior consultant at Ernst and Young, advising biotechnology and start up technology clients. Sean graduated magna cum laude from Boston College, and lives in Marshfield MA with his wife Johanna, and two children Joshua and Elizabeth.
