Assessment
Do you have the commercialization knowledge and strategy to succeed? Get your score and find out.
Research shows that success in the mainstream market depends on success with early adopters.
If you’re not successful with them, you won’t be over the long term.
We wake up each morning thinking about how many technologies and advancements health innovators dream up that end up in a zombie graveyard.
It’s not that their products don’t solve a real problem or aren’t superior to competing solutions. It’s because commercializing an innovation is hard, especially in healthcare.
We wrote the book on how health innovators maximize market success. Literally. We’ve uncovered the strategies—the good, the bad, and the ugly—that cause innovations to succeed or fail.
Using our proprietary COIQ™ system, we help health innovators go from an idea to full market adoption.

Strategy Product Developer & Content Marketing Director
Amanda Gaid may have started her marketing career with a traditionally-focused advertising and public relations degree from the University of Central Florida, but she now lives and breathes, as she puts it, “All Things Internet.” She admits, “I’m kind of obsessed with the Internet.”
As a social-media guru, Amanda applies her eight years of rich experience and interests to find unique ways of capturing audiences’s attention and exceeding clients’ expectations through the social-media world’s most effective channels. To add to her intellectual repertoire since college, she’s been studying brand management through advertising, public relations, and Internet marketing, all of which makes her a natural extension of the Legacy DNA team.
“When I’m not logged in, you can find me doing something equally creative, like painting, sculpting, playing my ukulele,” she says. “Or, you’ll find me planning my next adventure trip to explore the far corners of the globe.”
Innovation Manager
Passion compels every great story— from beginning to happily ever after. Erin Cece has this passion, and then some, for translating customer needs into success stories cultivated through viable business solutions with measurable results.
With an eye on great business stories and the science behind them, Erin has focused this passion on healthcare innovation, primarily in the pharmaceutical and specialty pharmacy industries, for over 15 years. Through her significant experience in business development, B2B and B2C sales, marketing, and project management, she has the vision and the expertise to identify Legacy DNA’s clients’ market potential and bring it to life — from product development through launch stages, and beyond.
From start-ups and small-to-midsized business to large enterprises with significant global presence, Erin has helped companies change the way they market their businesses with a fresh focus on inbound marketing and digital presence, team building, and determining market solutions for diverse profit centers.

“There are two things I’m not only passionate about, but slightly obsessed: yoga and organizational economics. But yoga is much more fun to talk about! I’ve had a daily practice for several years and particularly love the Ashtanga lineage. I recently completed my 200RYT (200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher) and am a certified instructor.”
Demand Generation Specialist
As Legacy DNA’s inbound marketing and automation engineer, Simon lives and breathes “all things that revolve around inbound marketing.”
Simon has a notable background in international business development and technology management, with a focus on digital innovation. As a data-driven inbound marketing scientist, he builds automated inbound marketing processes that attract traffic to client websites, convert traffic into new leads, and transform leads into new business. His specialties include engineering and implementing client content marketing campaigns through websites, landing pages, email workflows, and calls to action that always portray the client’s most authentic voice and story.
Simon earned his Electronics Engineering degree (with focus on telecommunications and multimedia) at Universidad Simón Bolívar (Miranda State, Venezuela) and is Inbound Marketing certified.
Although he’s a digital scientist, Simon is also a born storyteller who expresses creativity and vision through technology. He says, “Storytelling is everything. Nothing can be taught, learned, expressed, or sold without a good story. The human brain will always understand and internalize stories before analytics and data, so storytelling is always the optimal way to connect with people”.
New Media Assistant
At Legacy DNA, Daisy helps immensely with the production of the Health Innovators video show and podcast. From building relationships with new show guests to nurturing relationships with past ones, she helps to grow the show’s reach and make sure everything is running smoothly behind the scenes.
Daisy recently earned her business administration degree, but she’s been doing various online work for more than five years. From a virtual English teacher to a freelance graphic designer, she has a broad range of experiences under her belt.
In college, her interest in administration work grew as she found that she really enjoys tasks like organizing, executing on ideas, and connecting with her teammates and others she meets in the process of getting things done. At Legacy, she’s delighted that she’s able to marry her skills with her passions as she connects the dots between work and play.
"I'm very passionate about art. My hobbies include painting, crafting, and, most of the time, graphic designing," she says. "I really love keeping track of my events and planning ahead of time, so I always keep a bullet journal where I can be organized and creative at the same time."
