About Kathleen McGinness
Senior biotech leader with 20 years of experience in early start-up, mature biotech, and large companies. I have a proven record of innovation and success developing novel therapeutic platforms and driving early drug discovery programs towards clinical development across a broad range of therapeutic modalities and disease areas. I consistently manage timelines and budgets to meet corporate goals and act nimbly to both drive and respond to strategic business changes. I have strong experience in IP portfolio strategy and external collaboration management. I have extensive experience building and growing highly effective teams and excel at working with individuals to grow in their careers and thrive in their roles. I have been a key driver of corporate culture at every organization at which I have worked, most recently focused on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) initiatives.
