What if the biggest obstacle to innovation isn't competition—but slow decision-making? Is slow decision making holding you back? In this episode of North Star Leadership, Lindsay Pedersen sits down with Jennifer Nuckles, Chairperson & CEO of R-Zero, to explore what it takes to lead across industries—from CPG to gaming, fintech, and health tech. Jennifer shares hard-won lessons on risk-taking, moving fast, and why leading with influence beats leading with authority. Whether you're a brand strategist, executive, or aspiring CEO, this conversation is packed with insights on navigating leadership at every level. Key Takeaways: Leadership Beyond Titles: The best leaders don't rely on authority—they influence, inspire, and align people toward a common goal. Making the Leap to CEO: The shift from CMO to CEO means owning every decision, from office space to product launches. The stakes are higher, but so is the impact. Lessons from CPG to Tech: Traditional industries can be slow-moving, while tech embraces speed and risk. Jennifer explains why she left CPG to scale businesses at hyper-growth speeds. Risk & Reward: Why moving fast—even if it means breaking things—is essential for companies aiming for exponential, rather than incremental, growth. The Power of Cross-Industry Experience: Jennifer's career spans CPG, fintech, gaming, and health tech. She shares why great leadership transcends industries. The Hidden Challenge of Decision-Making: The biggest bottleneck in large organizations? Layers of approval. Jennifer contrasts CPG's cautious approach with tech's real-time agility. Why Every CEO Needs Experts: Great leaders know their strengths—and surround themselves with the best minds to fill the gaps.

Ego is a product-killer. It's what keeps us from empathizing with users and building the right thing. It doesn't always start from a place of selfish intentions, but if we don't keep ourselves in check, we can quickly slip away from creating products that benefit users.Tony Poon, Chief Product Officer at R-Zero, joins the show to share how he battles his own ego in product leadership. We discuss balancing intuition and data-driven decisions, the challenge of product management in a new market, and the importance of listening well.You can find more information about this podcast at sep.com/podcast and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

Does it seem like every few days there is a report of a new or old organism or disease poking its head up and staying “I'm here! Look at me!” I'm sure as an infection Preventionist or ID physician, it may seem that way to you. If you are in the cities and towns that are having these outbreaks it doesn't matter what your profession is, you are affected. The issue of MDROs, emerging diseases, and known diseases we hoped to have snuffed out with mass vaccinations are now front and center in all of our lives. They are no longer just for the hospitals they are on mass. Polio is back in North America. New York State has declared a state disaster emergency. What do we need to know?For polio and for most diseases we need to be vaccinated to be safe. There is no question of what the vaccine did for the eradication of polio. Vaccines work and save lives.Be safe and please remember, wash your hands.Podcasts referenced:Podcast episode 45 - “Infection Prevention Needs a New Normal” When I interview Grant Morgan, CEO of R-Zero as he discusses utilizing hospital technologies in schools, restaurants and work places. Podcast episode 43 “Cleaning for Health and Smart disinfection with epidemiologist Emily Rosenberg”  References:CDC - https://www.cdc.gov/polio/what-is-polio/faq/index.htmNew Your State  - https://www.governor.ny.gov/executive-order/no-21-declaring-disaster-state-new-yorkInteresting Polio Vaccine history:Mayo Clinic - https://www.mayoclinic.org/coronavirus-covid-19/history-disease-outbreaks-vaccine-timeline/polio

In this interview with Grant Morgan, we learn how the technology of UVC Light has the power to stop COVID-19 in its tracks, which is especially critical as we head indoors and gather for the holiday season. They dig into how the company was founded, and cover topics including Grant's literal “lightbulb moment”, the reality of UVC as a greener option to disinfect than harsh chemicals like bleach, the true cost of sick days, and why taking risks is the ONLY thing that makes sense when lives are on the line. The social impact of his work, and that of R-Zero cannot be understated. This is the biosafety solution for the modern era. Here are the highlights:

The social impact of his work, and that of R-Zero cannot be understated. This is the biosafety solution for the modern era. Here are the highlights:

Human beings have an ability to tolerate quite a bit. Oftentimes, this is a helpful survival strategy. Rather than being overwhelmed by life's frailties to the point flight or fight is kicking in, it's generally a good thing to accept the realities of existence that cannot be changed and then operate accordingly on that basis. This is better than being constantly unnerved by real and sometimes alarming things that it seems one cannot control. But sometimes a huge disruption lets people know that they have been tolerating something concerning that's impact could have been mitigated by a sustained effort which leads to a new solution. Neil Day, CTO of R-Zero, makes this point about the seeming unstoppability of certain infectious diseases. Main TakeawaysSolving Multiple Problems: Not only was the coronavirus a huge problem, typical disinfectant solutions, such as liquid disinfectants, were difficult to apply and inefficient. Of course, massive problems are also opportunities for innovation.Relying on Something Tried and True: Using UV light as a disinfectant has historical precedence as well as scientific evidence concerning its effectiveness to curb the spread of viruses. R-Zero leaned into this established technology and then created a product that could utilize it effectively. Sensors in the machine as well as its capacity to hold data allow for implementation of risk management procedures.Now That We Are Utilizing UV More…: UV technology may become a more typical means to disinfect both businesses, and, eventually, homes. In recent history, people have mostly accepted that illness from viruses is an inevitable part of life. Based upon the experience of the pandemic and the potential solutions that may spring forth to solve that problem, this mentality may evolve and push humanity into a different expectation concerning health. IT Visionaries is brought to you by the Salesforce Platform - the #1 cloud platform for digital transformation of every experience.

About this episode My guest this week is Eli Harris, is the co-founder of R-Zero. R-Zero is disrupting an archaic industry (disinfection), and in doing so - creating a category around health security + biosafety technology. Eli and his co-founders recognized that the COVID pandemic was going to present a massive shift in health security, much like 9/11 did for physical security. The opportunity for Eli and the R-Zero team is enormous and we discuss this societal shift in great detail within this episode, but let me be clear…Eli's story is not one of success without failure. R-Zero is Eli's second startup and his first is now valued over $1 billion dollars. You read that correctly, his first startup reached the elusive “Unicorn” status. Unfortunately though, he does not get to share in that success because a little over two years ago he was pushed out and let go from the very company he built. Within this episode we unpack how he processed that moment to get to a place where was capable and emotionally ready to begin building what, from all external signs, looks to be another Unicorn startup story. In this episode, you'll hear: How Eli put in tremendous work to become fluent in Mandarin Chinese and how that work led to various opportunities in mainland China. The origin of his first startup, and how it reached a valuation of $1 billion. The events that led to him being pushed out from that startup. How he processed and leveraged that traumatic experience to strengthen him for the next chapter of his startup journey. Historical perspective of the security changes brought on my the events of 9/11, and how the COVID pandemic has created a similar opportunity. About the future growth opportunities for R-Zero and their recent acquisitions..

Today we welcome Ben Boyer, co-founder and Executive Chairman of R-Zero Systems, to the podcast.  Prior to March 2020, Ben had worked in Venture Capital – getting his feet wet with Lehman Brothers as he came out of college. After the Lehman bankruptcy, he went to work for Tenaya Capital which was spun out of Lehman Brothers.  At Tenaya, Ben focused on global consumer and related investments, with an emphasis on vertical applications and network effect businesses. He led investments in companies based in four countries and on three continents.  In 2020, he remained a Partner at Tenaya Capital but he stepped away from raising new funds to focus on R-Zero Systems.  Ben now lives in Park City UT. Ben speaks about his early days at Lehman and the fall of the financial business.  He shares in-depth stories of investing in venture capital including some of the success stories. Ultimately, though , as Covid begins to develop in the US it brought back emotions of 9/11 – and what he could do to help.  This led to him to research pathogens, how they are treated and ultimately R-Zero was launched in April 2020. Ben started it with Grant Morgan and Eli Harris to help combat all known pathogens: COVID-19, seasonal flu, Norovirus, E.coli, MRSA, C.diff and whatever COVID-25 might be.  R-Zero designs hospital-grade disinfection solutions for the day-to-day realities of modern businesses. Ben explains UV-C disinfection and their goal to make it better and cheaper.  We discuss the roles and strengths of each of their founders and he shares his story of entrepreneurship. Great podcast and it's good to see that R-Zero is keeping to their goal to create safer communal spaces, today and forever.   William Bissett is the owner of and an Investment Advisor Representative of Portus Wealth Advisors, a Registered Investment Adviser. Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training.

What if I told you that a technology that has been around since the 1910s is the secret sauce to a company that was founded in 2020 and has completely exploded in the year since? And when I say exploded, I mean scaling from $0 to over $25 million in…. Less than a year. Well, that's the story of R-Zero Systems, and it's a great example of how, in today's world, spotting an opportunity, moving fast, and being able to solve problems in real-time is what separates the winners from the losers in the business world. Whether you're in CPG, retail, healthcare, or some combination of multiple verticals, the biggest problem a company has is the ability to sustainably scale. But R-Zero Systems is showing just how to do it well, and that's not the only solution the company is bringing to the table. On this episode of Up Next in Commerce, I sat down with Grant Morgan, the co-founder and CEO of R-Zero Systems, and he told me all about the wild ride the company has been on since its founding in spring of 2020. See, R-Zero is a biosafety technology company that, thanks to its innovative products, helps customers create safer spaces for its patients, employees, students, and anyone else entering an indoor space. It was created for the same reason as any other company — to solve a problem. The difference, though, was that Grant and his team were able to first, ramp up production at a time when few others could, and second, bring something critical to the very specific needs of the market that was already proven to be effective but wasn't very accessible. Turns out, that's the key to growing quickly is effectiveness and accessibility all at once, oh, and maybe a few other things too. Want to know what they are? Find out on this episode! Plus, listen closely to hear my epic UV product ideas that I know Grant is eager to add to his product roadmap, and some of the funniest product requests he has received to date. Main Takeaways:Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired: One of the factors that affects productivity is sick days. By finding a way to reduce sick days, a company can operate more economically and efficiently. But more than just impacting the bottom line, by investing in creating a healthy environment, you are providing workers a better overall experience.Proof Positive: Even when you are working with a proven technique, application, or resource, when you introduce it in a new way, you have to go through the due diligence to re-prove its efficacy. Especially when what you are trying to prove is invisible to the human eye.The Right DNA: In order to scale, hiring is key. But this task shouldn't be treated lightly. One wrong hire can impact the culture in more ways than one could imagaine. So how do you create and keep a culture worth building around, and find the right people for the company? Tune in to hear how Grant things about hiring within a fast growing company.!For an in-depth look at this episode, check out the full transcript below.

On a special edition of the Accelerate Health podcast,  we continue our series of spotlights on unique digital health startups that are changing the face of healthcare.This week, we speak to Eli Harris, Co-Founder and President of R-Zero.  R-Zero  is the first biosafety technology company dedicated to making the indoor spaces we share safer, healthier and more productive. Their technologies help reduce the spread of all infectious diseases while simplifying the processes and reporting that goes with it. Eli shares how their technology grew out of a need to modernize the sanitizing practices of businesses when COVID-19 first emerged and how the need for easy and efficient sanitizing has become the norm now for all industries moving forward.   Learn more about R-Zero, click here.

At the end of every episode, I always ask the listeners to share their stories and offer an open invitation to join me on the Tech Talks Daily Podcast. After receiving an email from Grant Morgan, I invited him on Tech Talks Daily to discuss tech's role in achieving must-have sustainable sanitization. For years, the biosafety landscape has been dominated by lumbering, archaic giants, but their time at the top of the food chain may be about to end. While companies like Clorox and Ecolab continue to focus on harmful, inefficient chemical disinfectants, R-Zero envisions a new era of hi-tech public safety strategies. Grant shares his plans to use IoT-enabled hardware, smart sensors, software, and machine learning to crack open a $200B+ market. Antibiotic soaps and sanitizers are driving a deadly new wave of antibiotic-resistant infections. Harsh chemical disinfectants can create hazardous environments for staff and employees, and their overuse is already harming wildlife around the world. Let's face it — the status quo is not sustainable. Grant discusses the urgent need for environmentally-friendly disinfection, and talk about the advances in technology that are finally making it possible.  

Driven by an unwavering work ethic and desire to change the world for the better, Eli has worked in over sixteen countries, launched two successful startups, and made national headlines — all before his 30th birthday which made him a Forbes 30 Under 30 Entrepreneur. Now as President and co-founder of R-Zero, he's taking on his most ambitious challenge yet: tackling the transmission of pathogens in the COVID-19 era and beyond.

Eli Harris may be young, but don't underestimate him. Driven by an unwavering work ethic and desire to change the world for the better, he's worked for leading hi-tech companies around the world and launched two successful startups — all before his 30th birthday. Now as President and co-founder of R-Zero, he's taking on his most ambitious challenge yet: tackling the transmission of pathogens in the COVID-19 era and beyond.

At the start of the pandemic, everyone started thinking of the best ways to clean and disinfect our environments. Those harsh chemicals and cleaning products aren't healthy for the professional cleaners that use them, don't reach all the places that need to be cleaned, or consider the effects on the environment. Using his background in mechanical engineering, Grant Morgan developed a portable and financially enticing product for disinfecting hospital areas. Within six months, Grant and his co-founder developed and booked over $5 million in sales, raised $15 million in capital and started a company, R-Zero.  The company's lead product, Arc, is a Hospital-grade UV-C power device, proven to destroy surface and airborne pathogens in a thousand square foot room in just seven minutes. The UV-C disinfection unit can destroy over 99.99% of pathogens to make commercial space as safe as possible for employees and customers. It incorporates IOT connectivity and data science to automate workflows. R-Zero is a biosafety company with the mission of developing technologies and products to reduce deadly pathogens such as the Coronavirus, Influenza, norovirus, E. coli, common cold, and other common infectious diseases. And that's just the start of Grant's story. In this episode, Grant shares this rare pandemic success story including: ·        Innovation and speed to market comes from asking the right questions. ·        Making a product financially feasible to other businesses using a hardware as a service model – meaning equipment rental verses ownership. ·        Moving from a $1.6 million seed round of funding to $15 million in investors. ·        The benefits of data intelligence being incorporated within the product and accessing data in real time. ·        Future company growth beyond the Coronavirus pandemic.

As co-founder and CEO of R-Zero, he's democratizing access to hospital-grade biosafety technologies, restoring trust in our common spaces and the organizations that operate them, and helping establish a new standard for public health in the COVID-19 era and beyond. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Grant realized he was in a unique position to save lives — and to revolutionize the $200B+ infection prevention industry. With a proven entrepreneurial track record and an extensive background designing medical devices and IoT enabled hardware, his skillset was tailor-made to meet the moment. Soon, he and a small team were working day and night to reverse-engineer the hi- tech biosafety equipment used in hospitals across the country, searching for ways to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Less than six months later, his newly- founded company shipped its first product — a portable UV light tower capable of destroying 99.99% of pathogens in a room in minutes, and at a fraction of the cost of commercially-available alternatives. Since then, R-Zero’s trajectory has been meteoric. Grant has assembled an all-star team featuring seven former founders or CEOs, booked $5M in sales in 3 short months since [shipping the first product, and secured the backing of top venture capital firms and cross-industry thought-leaders. Today, R-Zero’s products are in use in thousands of classrooms, restaurants, and small businesses, helping to pave the way to a new normal — one that’s healthier and safer than ever before.

Episode #90 of The Impactors Podcast features #Impactor Eli Harris, President & Co-Founder of R-Zero. Eli Harris may be young, but don't underestimate him. Driven by an unwavering work ethic and desire to change the world for the better, he's worked for leading hi-tech companies around the world and launched two successful startups — all before his 30th birthday. Now as president and co-founder of R- Zero, he's taking on his most ambitious challenge yet: tackling the transmission of pathogens in the COVID-19 era and beyond. A Santa Barbara native, Eli moved to Beijing on a Fulbright Scholarship after graduating from Phi Beta Kappa from Amherst College. While his studies in China quickly led to positions at respected tech firms like FLIR Systems and DJI Technology, Eli had bigger plans. In 2016, he co-founded his first startup — a pioneering portable energy storage company called EcoFlow. After a $25M acquisition deal fell through, Eli eventually sold his stake and was left unsure of his next move. Then the pandemic hit. Sensing an opportunity to save lives while revolutionizing the $20B+ infection prevention industry, he stepped away from his role as CEO at Ecoflow and joined forces with two of his mentors to found R-Zero. Their suite of radically affordable, hospital-grade disinfection solutions immediately made waves and headlines. In less than six months since their founding, they've already booked $5M in sales, secured the backing of top venture capital firms, and shipped thousands of life-saving products to small businesses across the country — and if Eli has his way, they're just getting started.

The COVID-19 pandemic has business owners and public service providers worrying about infectious diseases more than ever. Lisa Tecklenburg, Chief Marketing Officer at R-Zero, wants to help ease some of those concerns.R-Zero's flagship product is the Arc UV-C system, which uses ultraviolet-C (UVC) light to kill pathogens in the air and on surfaces in just a few minutes. It sounds like science fiction, but according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), UVC light has been used as a disinfectant for decades. It's been shown to disable the SARS-Coronavirus, which is similar to the virus that causes COVID-19.Lisa is aware that one of R-Zero's challenges is education around the potential of UVC. The company was founded in April 2020, so identifying the brand as an authority is crucial, especially given all the snake oil salesmen benefitting from the pandemic.“Getting third-party testing that said, ‘This kills 99.99% of coronavirus and MRSA and influenza' was critically important, especially in the UVC market, because some of the products aren't up to snuff,” she says. It helps that in addition to having a chief scientist with infectious disease experience on the team, Lisa herself has a background in microbiology.“I was really looking for an opportunity that did two things: fundamentally changed healthcare and saved lives,” she says. “I came across R-Zero and immediately thought, I have to be connected to this company.” Featured Challenger
