Don Phelps

Don loves digging into the details that makes a company tick, managing worldwide finance, accounting, human resources, IT and facilities. Don has over 25 years in senior finance and accounting leadership roles across a broad range of companies and industries. Prior to Unchained Labs, he was Vice President of Finance and Operations at Intabio, a life science tools startup sold to Sciex. Before that, Don was Director of Finance for Bio-Techne’s Analytical Solutions Division, a $200M instrumentation and consumables business. The core of that division was created from the acquisition of ProteinSimple, where Don led the worldwide finance team. Prior to ProteinSimple, Don worked as a consultant for RoseRyan providing interim controller and finance director leadership to a broad variety of startups and emerging growth companies. He has a BA in International Relations from Claremont McKenna College, and an MBA from Santa Clara University. When Don’s not crunching the numbers, he can be found eating up pavement on his bike or out in the boonies on a long backpacking trip.
