Featured Speaker

Ted Karkus, CEO & Chief Strategist, ProPhase Labs, Inc.

Ted Karkus is an entrepreneur and business leader who has financed, taken public (via IPO’s and reverse mergers), turned around and scaled numerous high-growth development stage companies. Ted began his career on Wall Street and then established Forrester Financial, a management consulting firm. Ted financed and advised ID Biomedical, a biotech/vaccine company, headed for bankruptcy ($25 million valuation). Seven years later, the company was sold to GlaxoSmithKline for more than $1.4 billion.

Initially as an investor, Ted witnessed several years of declining revenues and increasing losses at ProPhase Labs (Nasdaq symbol: PRPH). In 2009, Ted initiated an extremely risky but highly successful proxy contest which led to his control. As CEO he restructured and streamlined all operations. This resulted in another successful turnaround: In 2017 ProPhase sold the Cold-EEZE Cold Remedy brand for $50 million to Mylan, a multibillion-dollar pharmaceutical company. Ted is now strategically taking ProPhase Labs in new directions with more to come.

Outside of business, Ted is an involved father and basketball coach. He is also passionate about helping young entrepreneurs. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Tufts University and Beta Gamma Sigma from Columbia Business School.
