Executive summary
Robert Edward Grant is presented in multiple profiles as a serial entrepreneur and inventor who has founded and led healthcare and cryptography firms and served in senior executive roles at major medical-device companies; sources list roles including President of Allergan Medical, CEO & President of Bausch + Lomb Surgical, Founder/Chairman/CEO of Crown Sterling (also Crown Sterling Limited LLC), and Founder/Chairman/Managing Partner of Strathspey Crown / Crown Holdings LLC [1] [2] [3] [4]. He also appears as founder or board member of Alphaeon/ALPHAEON and several portfolio companies and boards [2] [3] [5].
1. Corporate résumé: medical-device executive to serial founder
Profiles tied to Grant’s own site and to a TWIN Global speaker bio say his early professional career was in medical technology: he served as President of Allergan Medical (2006–2010) and then as CEO and President of Bausch + Lomb Surgical (June 2010) before founding entrepreneurial ventures [1] [2]. These sources present those corporate leadership roles as the foundation for later entrepreneurship [1] [2].
2. Entrepreneurial platform: Crown Sterling and cryptography
Multiple sources identify Grant as founder, chairman and CEO (or Chairman and CEO) of Crown Sterling (also shown as Crown Sterling Limited LLC), a company that markets quantum‑resistant encryption based on his claimed mathematical discoveries (quasi‑primes). Crown Sterling is repeatedly linked to Grant as founder/CEO and to his inventions in encryption [1] [4] [5].
3. Holding company and investment activity: Strathspey Crown / Crown Holdings
Grant is described as Founder, Chairman and Managing Partner of a growth equity holding company variously called Strathspey Crown LLC, Strathspey Crown Holdings, Crown Holdings LLC or Crown Holdings — based in Newport Beach, CA — which the bios say holds a portfolio across healthcare, clean energy, fintech and other sectors [2] [3] [6]. These pages also list his role overseeing portfolio company investments and board seats [3].
4. Alphaeon / ALPHAEON and other board roles
Sources report Grant as founding CEO of ALPHAEON Corporation from February 2013 to August 2016, and as co‑founder or board member in Alphaeon-related ventures [2] [5]. Crown Holdings / Strathspey Crown profiles also state he has served on corporate and university boards and as an independent director at companies including Myoscience, Acufocus and ReShape Medical, and as a board member of ALPHAEON Corporation and Zelegent [3].
5. Smaller ventures, patents and technology claims
Organizational charts and biographical listings add that Grant has founded or led other companies such as CEYEBER (Founder & CEO since April 2021) and AEON Biopharma, and that he has been listed as a founder of multiple businesses in security, blockchain, smart optics, AR/VR and fintech on his own site [5] [6]. Patent listings associated with his name and Crown Sterling appear in patent databases, showing inventions assigned to Crown Sterling [7].
6. Public-facing positioning: polymath, author, media host
Grant’s own site and event pages present him as a polymath: inventor, mathematician, author and media host (podcast and documentary credits). Those materials frame his company work as connected to his research on quasi‑prime numbers and sacred geometry, and link corporate roles to his public thought‑leadership [1] [8] [9].
7. Points of corroboration and limits of available reporting
The clearest corroboration for his Allergan, Bausch + Lomb Surgical, Crown Sterling and Strathspey/Crown Holdings roles comes from his personal site, a TWIN Global speaker bio, and corporate/holding‑company pages [1] [2] [3]. Available sources do not mention independent third‑party press coverage verifying every listed role or dates; public regulatory filings or mainstream business‑press profiles corroborating each corporate title are not found in the current reporting provided (not found in current reporting).
8. Competing perspectives and potential agendas
Material originating on Grant’s own websites and affiliated event pages frames his career as visionary and interdisciplinary, promoting his companies and intellectual claims [1] [6]. Organizational profiles and business-directory entries repeat those claims but are less analytical [2] [5]. This pattern suggests promotional intent in many primary sources: they emphasize achievements, patents and ventures while offering few independent vetting sources [1] [3]. Readers should treat company self‑descriptions and affiliated bios as partial evidence and seek independent corporate filings or press reporting for verification.
If you’d like, I can attempt to extract exact date ranges and board listings from SEC filings, company press releases, or news archives — but those documents are not included in the sources you provided.
