When asked what led him to open his latest career chapter as CFO of Biofourmis, Matt Borowiecki quickly mentions the 2018 sale of MassMutual Asia Ltd. to Yunfeng FG.

After helping to piece together a string of strategic plays for MassMutual, Borowiecki was instrumental in effecting the Yunfeng FG deal, which was a standout for him personally as well as one that many industry analysts at the time deemed transformational for company.

Having helped to spearhead the transaction, Borowiecki was subsequently asked to relocate to Hong Kong and lead international strategy and corporate development for the company. With his deal-making realm vastly expanded, Borowiecki might have been expected to rocket down MassMutual\u2019s transformational M&A track for several more years. \xa0\xa0

However, the move to Hong Kong challenged him in ways that he had not necessarily anticipated. Seeking to discover new strategies for MassMutual to extend its reach in the region, Borowiecki frequently found himself in meetings with local Hong Kong venture capitalists and private equity firms.

\u201cI really started to understand the power of data science and how insuretech, fintech, and healthtech really were transforming,\u201d explains Borowiecki, who found his career ambitions evolving and coalescing around the broader notion of making an impact on industries at large.

Knowing that his M&A experience would serve him well inside the start-up realm, he soon saw a new career chapter come into focus.

\u201cQuite candidly, the exposure that I had to very different consumer patterns and thinking about health and wealth in different ways piqued my interest in the Biofourmis platform,\u201d explains Borowiecki, who adds that the basic premise of Biofourmis is to enable patients to compare their own physiological signals to metadata from a vastly larger population pool in real time.

Says Borowiecki: \u201cWe call them \u2018Biovitals\u2019\u2014they\u2019re effectively a real-time picture designed to help clinicians to predict and prevent serious medical events. For example, heart failure is one of our focuses.\u201d

It seems that as one career chapter closed for Borowiecki, yet another opened. \u2013Jack Sweeney
