Our Team
Chief Executive Officer
Bryan Bloom is a business builder and operating executive whose background spans finance, strategy, and healthcare innovation. His experience includes leadership roles at BetterHealthcare and TailorMed, the founding of Ockham Razor Advisory, and earlier work at ENODO Global, Barclays, and IBM. He earned his undergraduate degree in Economics and Political Science from Colgate University and his MBA in Finance and Management from the Wharton School.
At LivestockForge, Bryan brings that operator’s discipline to a bold biotechnology mission in cattle and the broader production animal sector. He sees the company’s disease resistance work as a chance to pair advanced science with practical industry impact by strengthening animal health, supporting producers, and helping build a more resilient food system. Bryan’s grandfather was a cattleman, which makes founding LivestockForge not only strategically meaningful, but also a deeply personal connection to his family’s past.
Chief Scientific Officer
Dr. Cherice Roth is a veterinarian, executive, and industry leader known for combining clinical credibility with innovation in modern animal health. She is Chief Veterinary Officer of Digital Pet Health for Mars Veterinary Health, a graduate of Texas A&M’s veterinary school, and also holds a master’s degree in biochemistry from the University of North Texas Health Science Center.

At LivestockForge, Dr. Roth brings a practical veterinary lens to a bold biotechnology mission.

She helps connect advanced innovation with the realities of animal care, industry adoption, and the broader mission of improving animal health at scale.
