ABOUT SHANE SANFILIPPO

Drug development programs fail not from lack of science, but from lack of execution infrastructure. I build that infrastructure.15+ years leading program management and project management teams in gene therapy and biopharma. From preclinical and IND through Phase 1, Phase 2, and commercial launch. I’ve built PPM functions from zero at lean biotech’s, led portfolios of multiple programs simultaneously, lead strategies to accelerate IND’s, and oversaw operational readiness and start-up strategy for the primary manufacturing site of ZOLGENSMA. Currently Sr. Director of Strategy & Execution at Fujifilm Biotechnologies, serving as Chief of Staff to the Site Leadership Team and leading the PMO, Operational Excellence, Business Resilience, Internal communications, and External Relations functionsWhat I do:→ Build governance and integrated program planning frameworks that actually get used→ Align CMC, clinical, regulatory, and research workstreams into cohesive, milestone-driven execution→ Give executive leadership and boards clear, honest portfolio visibility→ Stand up PMO functions in environments where none existedMy background in electrical engineering gives me a systems thinking orientation that most program leaders don’t have. I see the whole program as an integrated system, not a collection of workstreams.Based in the Research Triangle.
