With over 20 years of executive leadership experience in life sciences, and as General Counsel or Chief Legal Officer for six highly innovative public, global biotech companies, I bring a unique blend of strategic leadership and operational expertise to high growth companies ranging from private biotech start-ups to global fully integrated S&P 500 companies. My journey has been defined by a relentless commitment to excellence in executive team leadership, Board and corporate governance, and championing a patient-focused culture built around first and/or best in class science. I am passionate about building and mentoring strong teams focused on advancing patient care and creating solutions to complex issues and have a track record of creating teams across legal, compliance, government affairs and corporate affairs functions. I'm recognized for crafting and executing strategies to achieve the company’s goals for all stakeholders, particularly for high growth life science companies where key decisions must be timely made to advance the research and clinical pipelines, and serve as many patients as possible once products are commercially launched.
