a member of the board of directors and Director of Development. After
partial development of some clinical data logistics systems, the UK
venture fund dissolved KafkaAdaptive and agreed to the appointment of
Foy as President and CEO of the successor company, Woodstock

platforms dedicated to automate study cohort formation. Meanwhile, he
retains a seat on the technical advisory board of Facultech, a
developer of cognitive reasoning skills tests for schoolchildren based
on handheld microcomputers.
