Dr. Shashkov joins Exogenesis after several leadership roles in advanced materials industries. Most recently, he was president and CEO of H.C. Stark Fabricated Products, a global manufacturer of refractory metals serving aerospace, defense, medical, electronic and industrial markets. Dr. Shashkov also worked in business development and business management roles at Honeywell Specialty Materials, a $5 billion division of Honeywell. Before that, he worked at McKinsey & Company, managing projects in the chemical, pharmaceutical and telecommunication industries.

Headquartered in Billerica MA, Exogenesis is a private venture capital-backed company that has developed several accelerated particle-beam processing technologies to modify and control surfaces without applying a coating.
