Dominic C. Abbott
FOUNDER/COO
Mr. Dominic Abbott, recently deceased, was the co-founder, Executive Vice President-Chief Operating Officer and owner of 3V Medical Research Group, Inc. (Dominic grew up in Pittsburgh and began his business career with a successful hair salon.) From there, he launched his flourishing women’s hair goods business, Abbott Tresses, which manufactured products in Hong Kong and employed over 5000 people. He held three U.S. patents on these products.
His innovations and creativity quickly drove him to the top of the hair-goods industry. Mr. Abbott’s drive and business acumen enabled him to travel the world, earning him the respect of the international business community. Subsequently, Bristol-Myers purchased his company, retaining him as President of the Abbott Tresses Division, as well as naming him a vice president of Bristol-Myers, Clairol Division.
After investing wisely, he built other thriving businesses in the Pittsburgh area. These include Abbott Investment and Abbott Management Co., Inc., which was formed to manage real-estate investment properties, and Food Service Management Associates. Food Service Management Associates oversaw operation of Mr. Abbott’s 10 restaurants, including Hillary’s, Dingbats, Abate, and Juno Trattoria. He was one of the pioneers in bringing casual, full-service dining to Pittsburgh.
Dominic and his wife founded 3V Medical Research Group, Inc. 3V MEDICAL was created to research, create and develop drugs that fill the un-met needs of healthcare products for treating pain—products that are safe and effective.
From 2002, Mr. Abbott divested the restaurant business and focused entirely on healthcare products.
