thirty years of management experience in both large corporations
and smaller independent companies focusing on electronics,
consumer products, distribution, manufacturing and, most notably,
healthcare.
Early in his career, he spent 17 years at Corning Inc. in
a variety of roles, beginning with positions in finance, accounting,
marketing and sales. At Corning, Mr. Bergstrom held national
sales management positions for both the Consumer Products

In 1990, Mr. Bergstrom became COO of Odyssey Biomedical,
a venture-backed startup genetics testing company, acquired

When the firm merged with Roche to form LabCorp, Mr. Bergstrom
and a few partners raised private equity funding to purchase
American Medical Laboratory (AML). Under his leadership as
Executive Vice President of Business Development, AML became
the nation’s third largest lab company, growing to $300M
in sales and over $40M in EBIDTA. AML became a national esoteric
reference laboratory, earning an industry-wide reputation
for customer service, quality and productivity. AML was purchased
by Quest Diagnostics in 2002.
Prior to joining Focus, Mr. Bergstrom was a Senior Advisor
to the Office of the Chairman of Quest Diagnostics, leading
