With 20 years of experience in the life sciences sector, I have a demonstrated track record of driving value in early-stage investments, structuring unique and lucrative partnerships in the emerging markets, and delivering operational efficiencies across portfolio firms. As Managing Director at Easton Capital Group, I catalyzed a 5X increase in original valuation within 6 years as a Board Member of 6 of our portfolio investments and secured prominent investors such as Sequoia Capital and Merck Ventures during later stage rounds of fundraising. I also achieved an 85% success rate versus a 33% average for the venture capital industry with 6 of 7 investments still in the portfolio. Additionally, I structured technology licensing agreements with pharmaceutical and private equity partners in China and Brazil, projected to generate $15M in incremental revenues for Easton’s portfolio firms over the course of the next 3 to 5 years.As Chief Administrative Officer & Senior Vice President of Intellectual Property at Celtic Pharma Management, I created the intellectual property roadmap for each of our investments, including legal strategy and commercialization. I also eliminated a $1M annual licensing fee expense by negotiating a termination agreement with our counterparty after the acquisition of Oxford Biomedica.My previous experience includes roles at Bristol-Myers Squibb, where I served as Director of Consumer Marketing for U.S. Pharmaceuticals, and at Zeneca Pharmaceuticals, where I was a Consumer Strategist.► AREAS OF EXPERTISEEarly-Stage Investment ♦ Clinical Development ♦ Therapeutics ♦ Medical Devices ♦ Product Development ♦ Commercialization ♦ Emerging Markets ♦ Technology Licensing ♦ Mergers & Acquisitions ♦ Due Diligence ♦ Deal Structuring & Negotiations ♦ Corporate Governance► OPEN TO NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIESPlease feel free to contact me at +1.917.975.6001 or lisa@rhoadsre.com
