_Pharmaceutical / Biotechnology Executive
I have a passion for building and growing R&D organizations in order to execute the corporate strategy and delivering results by creating and leading exceptionally talented, performance driven teams.
I have twice been EVP of R&D where I increased the risk adjusted Net Present Value (NPV) of the pipeline through achieving and accelerating milestones, clear go/no go decisions and successful interactions with Regulatory Authorities. I am known to take calculated risks but also for making tough calls to avoid further spending on projects with a low probability of success. My expertise is across the whole development cycle from early pre-clinical stages through product launches where my teams have successfully filed patent applications, INDs, NDAs, sNDAs, and Orphan Drug Applications. In the past 20 years, I have held cross-functional executive management positions with pharmaceutical/biotech companies ranging from big to small pharma. I am uniquely able to communicate highly complex medical and scientific information, as well as build influence and buy-in with stakeholders and funders. I have overseen and directed organizations of Discovery, Formulations (both solid dose and aerosol), Biomedical Engineering, Translational Science, Clinical Development incl. Biometrics and Data Management, Project & Portfolio Management, Medical Affairs, Drug Safety, and Regulatory Affairs & Quality. |
