Lewis Dodgson is the CEO of BioSyn. In 1993 he bribed Dennis Nedry to sabotage the security systems at Jurassic Park and smuggle dinosaur embryos off the island. The plan failed however after Nedry was subdued and killed by a Dilophosaurus.
He remained with BioSyn for the next 20 years, eventually becoming its CEO.
Biography
Jurassic Park Incident
Dodgson travelled to San José in Costa Rica where he met with Dennis Nedry, a programmer contracted by InGen to build the complex systems that would operate Jurassic Park. He delivered $750,000 to Nedry, the first instalment in their agreed bribe promising a further $50,000 for every species that Nedry successfully managed to smuggle off the island for a total of 1.5 million dollars if he successfully attained all 15. Nedry reassured that he would get them all, asking how he was expected to transport them. Dodgson produced the Barbasol Cryocan, a storage device disguised as a can of shaving cream.
Career at BioSyn
Dodgson continued to work at BioSyn for the next two decades, rising through the ranks and eventually taking over as CEO.
