AccuTech
President, Jim Wu,
Joins ABL Organization
Santa Ana, CA —
June 15, 2010 —
Jim Wu,
President of AccuTech, LLC, has joined the Adaptive Business Leaders Organization (ABL). As
part of California’s leading vertical-industry Chief Executives’
Organization, ABL Members provide one another with executive leadership
coaching through its confidential, professionally-facilitated, peer-CEO
Advisory Board Round Tables, executive
learning workshops, network of CEO peers, and expert resources.
AccuTech is a leading manufacturer of home tests and point-of-care
products. It was the first to manufacture and sell a single-use
cholesterol home test. In 1994, CholesTrak® Total Cholesterol Home Test
was introduced to consumers and physicians. Today, it is sold in 30,000
retail stores, in over 11 countries and on various Internet sites,
making AccuTech a world leader in the cholesterol home test market.
CholesTrak is the 2008 #1 pharmacist-recommended OTC cholesterol test
device.
AccuTech brings a proprietary technology that serves as a platform for
developing diagnostic tests to be used in a variety of health areas.
Currently, the company has tests that measure total cholesterol and HDL
cholesterol to assess one's heart disease risk; that measure
prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and the presence of blood in the stool
to assess one's prostate and colon cancer risk; and that measure the
level of illicit substances in urine. All of AccuTech’s single-use,
self-administered tests have the accuracy and precision comparable to
that of a medical laboratory. They are simple, easy to use, and can be
done in the privacy of one’s own home.
AccuTech manufactures the AccuMeter®, a single-use, hand-held cassette
technology that is a non-instrumented quantitative testing device
protected by 15 patents. Accutech has used the Accumeter as a platform
to customize many different diagnostic tests to screen or help diagnose
certain health risks or conditions. Products are manufactured in a fully
automated cGMP, ISO and FDA-certified facility utilizing
state-of-the-art equipment.
In his leisure time, Jim enjoys tennis, jogging and swimming.
About the Adaptive Business Leaders (ABL) Organization
ABL supports the needs of its Member CEOs by providing a place for
top-level executives to draw on the experience, knowledge and skill sets
of their peers in a vertical industry, personal advisory board –
“multi-coach approach” – setting.
The
core component of the CEO Membership experience is the group Round Table
meeting. Members meet once a month for a half-day with a group of peer
CEOs, Presidents, COOs and Division General Managers from non-competing
companies, all from the same industry (healthcare, technology or life
sciences), in a trusted and confidential board room-like setting, which
allows ABL Members to tackle topics and enhance their decision making
and business performance. Topics include: developing and honing new
business strategies and best practices, new lines of business,
“A-players” on the management team, and an effective board of directors,
as well as understanding trends in new markets, mergers and
acquisitions, compensation, and other “hot” topics brought to the Round
Tables by the Members themselves.
ABL Members also gather several times a year at workshops and
conferences to exchange ideas and connect with other chief executives
beyond their own CEO peer groups. In effect, ABL Members serve as one
another’s business coaches within the Round Tables and are encouraged to
connect and leverage their co-Member peers’ particular skills and
expertise for additional leadership coaching, one-on-one, outside of
their monthly group meeting. In addition, each Round Table’s facilitator
also serves as an objective business advisor, offering executive and
industry insights and advice.
ABL's
Chief Executive Leadership Development Round Table program is currently
offered in California's Greater Los Angeles, Orange and San Francisco
County areas. More information about the ABL Organization can be found
