About Adi Hoess

With nearly 30 years of experience in the biotech industry, I offer an expert scientific background coupled with proven success in business development, commercial leadership, and corporate strategy. Under my leadership, Affimed has focused its excellent science and biology, deep financial commitment, and entrepreneurial innovation on developing, validating, and eventually introducing drugs that give patients their lives back. Biotech companies exist to build bridges from research and discovery to drug development and commercialization for the ultimate purpose of success in patients. I maximize the impact of those efforts through IPOs, mergers and acquisitions, and collaboration agreements, such as:• Taking forward the groundbreaking ViaNautis' polyNaut nanovesicles to revolutionize genetic medicines.• Listing Affimed as a Dutch company on the NASDAQ. I presented this innovative strategy to the company’s Board of Directors with investment banks ready to back this novel IPO solution.• Taking a drug in a rare disease where there was high medical need but at that time no commercial interest and pursued development, registration and commercialization of a drug called Firazyr which has become a viable business helping patients get back to their normal activities.• Playing a significant role with Shire for the M&A of Jerini AG• Establishing novel antibody-based technologies and building a sustainable business through signing of multiple collaboration deals for MorphoSys, which were instrumental in the company’s successful German IPO.People are inspired and motivated by my example to think and explore outside the box, resulting in innovations that exceed expectations and impact people’s lives. For example, launching Jerini’s novel orphan medication, Firazyr, into the market allowed patients suffering with hereditary angioedema, a rare immune system disorder, to control their disease and participate in their daily activities.From my initial involvement at MorphoSys where I started in R&D and evolved into a senior business development and commercial leader, to today as CEO of Affimed, my passion for positive patient outcomes and giving people the right to live full and rewarding lives has remained constant.

  • Vianautis
    Chief Executive Officer
    Vianautis Oct 2024 - Present
    Cambridge, Gb
  • Affimed Ag
    Ceo | Brought Affimed From Early Stage Pre-Clinical Engineering To Late-Stage Clinical Development
    Affimed Ag 2011 - Jan 2024
    Mannheim, Bw, De
    Over the last 10+ years, I have driven science, development, expansion, and culture within Affimed. Evolving the company from an antibody engineering focus to the leader in development of novel treatments for cancer patients that actualize the untapped potential of innate immunity having the first Innate Cell Engager in the clinic with registration-directed studies underway.In an unprecedented move for any German company, I proposed to the Board of Directors an innovative solution to take the company public – list Affimed as a Dutch company on the NASDAQ. This was the first IPO for a German biotech company in 10 years and led to a public offering model that has been adopted and replicated nationwide.My leadership resulted not only in signed collaborations with Genentech and Roivant, but also agreements with Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Roche, MDACC, Artiva and others, plus international expansion with an office opened in New York City.In 2011, Affimed employed approximately 30 employees. I built a high-performing team of talented entrepreneurial biotech and seasoned pharmaceutical leaders. Validating and leveraging Affimed’s high-quality work attracted 80+ qualified candidates, and grew the business to more than 100 valued employees. Culture is very important to today’s workforce, especially in a growing biotech. I addressed this opportunity by engaging one quarter of employees across all organizational levels to develop the company culture. Every employee was represented in the definition of vision and mission. We shaped a dichotomy that effectively integrates behavioral and biotech cultures with a focus on innovation and character-based values. The greatest success regarding this endeavor is that we are living that culture.
  • Jenowis Ag
    Chief Executive Officer (Ceo) | Secured €30M Investment To Form & Launch Spin-Off From Jerini Ag
    Jenowis Ag 2009 - 2010
    I formed Jenowis AG following Shire’s acquisition of Jerini AG and as part of the asset buyback agreement. The new company never became operational.
  • Jerini Ag
    Chief Commercial Officer | Introduced & Commercialized Firazyr | Key Player In Shire’S M&A Process
    Jerini Ag 2002 - 2009
    De
    My primary goal and accomplishment with Jerini involved launching Firazyr into the EU market. A highly valuable medication used to treat the symptoms of a rare immune system disorder, hereditary angioedema, I believed in the safety and efficacy of Firazyr to give patients their right to live a normal life. It helped to remove the stigma of the disease from hereditary angioedema and allowed these patients to join society in any daily activities. On the transactional side of the business, I worked directly with Shire leaders during the M&A process of acquiring Jerini AG, which included an asset buyback agreement and led to a spin-off into Jenowis. I was instrumental in reacquiring the US rights for Firazyr from Abbott, prior to the acquisition by Shire. As a leadership team, we took Jerini public on the Frankfurt exchange.
