Meet the Team Behind the Molecule

Courtney Roundy is the Co-Founder and CEO of Tecton Ketones, leading the commercialization of R3HBG, a patented bioidentical ketone. With over 30 years in consumer goods and $750M+ in revenue across multiple exits, he brings deep expertise in brand building, formulation, and retail strategy. At Tecton, he drives growth across cognition, performance, and metabolic health platforms.

Miki Stephens is the Co-Founder and COO of Tecton Ketones, leading operations, formulation, and regulatory execution. With 20+ years in CPG and health innovation—including leadership at Charlotte’s Web—she returned from retirement after discovering the clinical power of R3HBG. Her work transforms ketones from trend to essential fuel for brain, body, and metabolic health.

Mike Chesne, a retired U.S. Army Special Operations veteran, founded Tecton and leads innovation as Chairman. He developed the Tecton Ketone molecule and scaled its production with a focus on sustainability. With a background in global healthcare reform and emergency medical supply, Mike continues to drive scientific exploration while supporting veteran causes through active nonprofit leadership.

Dr. Kevin Foley is a neurosurgeon, professor, and innovator with over 180 U.S. patents—more than any neurosurgeon in history. A U.S. Army veteran, he now leads the Semmes-Murphey Clinic and serves as medical director at MERI. He’s known for pioneering minimally invasive spine surgery, image-guided navigation, and disc regeneration, and has received top honors including the AANS Cushing Award and WFNS Scoville Award.

Mike T. Nelson, CSCS, CISSN, MSME PhD, is a research fanatic who specializes in metabolic flexibility and heart rate variability, as well as an online trainer, associate professor at the Carrick Institute, presenter, creator of the Flex Diet Cert, kiteboarder, and (somewhat incongruously) heavy-metal enthusiast. He is also the co-author with Cal Dietz on "Triphasic Training II."
