Week 1 Welcome & Introductions

Hi all,

My name is Rich Tomchuk, I'm an instructional designer at Genmab, a Danish biotech firm with US offices in Princeton, NJ. My company does research on antibody treatments for cancer, and in my current role I primarily develop GxP courses for clinical trials. Prior to joining Genmab, I spent 17 years in the IT sector as a systems trainer, instructional designer, and ID & L&D ops team lead. I have a master's in information & communication technology from the University of Wisconsin, with a focus in enterprise learning tech. My primary career focus is on technical training, project management, and technology adoption. In my previous role I was also an early adopter of gen AI tools. My team and I piloted and developed training for those first wave GPT rollouts. Here at Genmab, I've created custom GPTs that my team uses for needs analysis, drafting learning objectives, and converting instructional recordings into task support materials.

I joined this cohort because I'm looking to continue leveling up my skills in AI and its applications for corporate training. I'm excited to help myself and my colleagues find new ways of working.

I live in northwest New Jersey. This is Shelby, the big ball of floof we adopted for my daughter last summer. As you can see, she's adjusted quite well to living with us :)
