About Joe Cascone
Advancing life-changing products requires resilient process improvement and transparent communication. I am a pharmaceutical executive and change leader who drives complex operations and projects. I partner with firms as the head of a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) to advance the drug development lifecycle, streamline approval processes, and oversee commercialization. Drawing on my extensive knowledge of pharmaceutical operations, I implement new systems, build organizational relationships, and advance cross-functional projects. I also steer project planning and execution through clear stakeholder communication and collaborate with teams at every level to launch products that change lives. At Guidepoint, I provide strategic recommendations to clients as a subject matter expert in pharmaceutical operations and CDMOs who supports business evaluations and risk assessments. Below are some of my top accomplishments: • Raising $1M in capital as the co-founder of Asterra Labs and independently developed an entire portfolio of pharmaceutical-grade products, increasing sales to $200K by 2021 before exiting and transitioning operational leadership to founding partners.• Negotiating a $652M purchase of a generic assets portfolio from Teva Pharmaceutical Industries as an integral member of a five-person executive leadership team at Mayne Pharma. I presented my case to the Federal Trade Commission at Capitol Hill, secured a portfolio, and stabilized the US supply chain for generic medication.• Serving as executive sponsor and project leader at Mayne Pharma for the $80M construction of a ft2 boutique manufacturing facility. I collaborated with internal engineers to design building concepts and ensure the plant met control standards for cross-contamination prevention; environment, health, and safety (EHS); and industrial hygiene.I am always open to expanding my professional network.
