Michelle Lobel
Co-Founder and Chief Inspiration Officer (CIO)
Bryn Pharma's Co-Founder and Chief Inspiration Officer, Michelle Lobel, who has severe nut allergies, is the motivating force behind the Company and its drive to deliver a revolutionary product that addresses the needs of patients, doctors and caregivers. She is also the mother of two children who have severe nut allergies. Her search led her to create Bryn Pharma, a company driven to deliver a better alternative to epinephrine auto-injectors.
Prior to founding Bryn Pharma, Mrs. Lobel was a Vice President at IDEAL Fastener Corporation. When she began working at IDEAL, the firm was a North American manufacturer facing significant transformation challenges due to offshoring of production by the company’s customer base. Under her direct leadership, the firm initiated and grew to three company owned facilities in China and opened three sales and marketing offices to serve the offshore manufacturing capacity. During this process, Mrs. Lobel spent a full year negotiating and implementing a joint venture with a Chinese Manufacturer, a task with significant cross cultural and operational challenges. Mrs. Lobel’s experience at IDEAL has given her significant experience operating within unstructured entrepreneurial environments and in relentlessly pursuing solutions in a proactive fashion.
Michelle is extremely active in community leadership. She serves on the Board of Directors of the Food Allergy Fund, an organization dedicated to funding food allergy research focused on the underlying causes of food allergies and improved treatments for people with food allergies. Additionally, she volunteers at her children's various schools.
