Biotech VP IT, San Diego Area, CA

Here's a position that was sent my way. It looks like
an exciting possibility. I'm a SF person and am not
interested at this time in moving to San Diego.
Thought I'd share since over $170K engagements are few
and far between these days. If you are in the
ballpark for this gig you'll understand what I mean
when I say please "self-screen" before contacting
Dianne below.
