About me
From Idea to Market
I'm Myrna Staring, a technology commercialization specialist with a PhD in Geophysics, 16 filed patents, and 10+ years at the intersection of complex technology, business and people. I began my career turning theoretical geoscience concepts into working prototypes and market-ready products, then went on to build and lead innovation and venture teams within a large organization. I'm currently completing a Global Executive MBA (GEMBA) at Rotterdam School of Management. Myridian Advisory is where I now bring that experience to technical founders, corporate venture teams and innovation leaders navigating the pre-product-market-fit stage.
