Professional experience
Stamatis N. Astra is the founder and CEO of Boston-based PhotOral,™ a life science startup focused on commercializing photo-medicine technology for the oral care market. PhotOral introduces a new concept with a intra-oral light therapy device that’s clinically proven to selectively target and suppress pathogenic bacteria thereby reversing gingivitis, preventing or controlling periodontal disease and maintaining a healthy balance in your mouth.
Astra’s early career brimmed with startup experience ranging from ‘dot-com’ VOIP software firm, TeleGea, where he built a global customer network from Tokyo to Brazil as Vice President of Technology – to more recently, the online identity theft solutions-based startup identityTruth, which he co-founded and later sold. Astra served as the CEO of a multinational manufacturer listed on Canada Stock Exchange before returning to the startup world.
Astra holds a BS in Economics magna cum laude as well as an MBA and MS in Communications Management—also with honors and all from Boston University.
