As a commercial leader with an academic foundation in biology I have spent over a decade growing and developing services businesses in the non-clinical and early clinical space. This experience has provided exposure to many avenues for identifying and promoting a viable clinical candidate as well as the many pitfalls that can occur along the way. Working in contract research roles I have worked to develop strategic partnerships with diverse client teams on a variety of modalities in most indications. I look forward to leveraging this experience in the future as we look to identify partners to bring the next generation of therapies to patients in need.
