Christina Lomasney is an experienced executive, innovator and entrepreneur with proven experience in technology innovation, commercialization and industrialization.
Christina has recently founded a stealth-mode incubator initiative, which is working with individual inventors and inventive teams to address the estimated $2T global, lost-opportunity market of un-transacted patents. The incubator is a modern take on Thomas Edison’s Menlo Park-based “Invention Factory”.
Christina founded Modumetal to commercialize the class of nanostructured metals, taking them from theory through to full industry specification. She served as Modumetal’s CEO from inception to full scale production in Asia, Europe and North America. She led partnerships with leading Fortune 500 companies, including: ADNOC, ParkerHannifin, Siemens, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Steel Dynamics, Toyota Tsusho, Boeing and Nike. She raised over $100M in venture capital and venture debt from venture partners including Founders Fund, Steel Dynamics, BP Ventures, ConocoPhillips Ventures, Chevron Technology Ventures, international funds in Saudi Arabia and Oman and others. She exited Modumetal in 2020 and founded the Washington state-based technology incubator venture, L-Works.
Prior to Modumetal, Christina founded Isotron, which realized a portfolio of advanced materials for environmental remediation and Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) defense used in environmental restoration, emergency response, and defense applications. Christina served as Isotron’s CEO from startup to profitability and later as Chairman of the Board. Isotron has been involved in leading research, development and commercialization of products and tools based in electrochemistry, materials science and digital modeling. Among the company’s customers: US Air Force, US Navy, MARCORSYSCOM, Technical Support Working Group, DARPA, Halliburton and Battelle-Japan (a JV with Mitsubishi).
Christina previously held positions in the PhantomWorks division of The Boeing Company and as an intern posted overseas with the Department of Energy. She has authored articles and is named inventor on issued and pending patents in the fields of electrochemistry, advanced materials and manufacturing for environmental, health and industrial applications.
Christina formerly served on the Board of the US’ leading standard organization, ASTM International. There, she was the founding Chair of the Subcommittee on Nanostructured Materials. Christina currently serves on the executive Innovation Counsel of Metalsa, the largest automotive OEM in Mexico. Christina chairs, by gubernatorial appointment, Washington State’s leading initiative for securing alternative critical material supply chains (JCDREAM). She is a lifetime member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Christina is a registered patent agent with the USPTO. She has a BS in Physics from the University of Washington and is there currently completing the graduate degree in Physics with focus in quantum computing technology.
