- Extensive senior leadership experience (typically 15+ years) within the biotech or pharmaceutical industry, including prior experience as CEO, COO or in another senior executive role.
- A proven track record of leading and scaling biotech companies from early discovery through clinical development, including responsibility for clinical-stage drug development programs.
