IND and BLA analytics, Manufacturing and Control), Clinical and Commercial development activities.My executive level corporate business development and sales growth has kept me well informed to understand the landscape and leverage our marketplace advantage, to understand and integrate deal stage and size-appropriate financial deal dynamics, long-term contract negotiations. From the ground up I have built BD and Ops teams, systems, and relationships needed to launch and grow businesses. A significant degree of my career success (ongoing) also consistently included building direct sales relationships with my clients. My roles and years have imparted to me expertise in technical, regulatory, business systems, and associated team management experience to support successful execution. I have been fortunate to have been surrounded by other very talented individuals which contributed greatly to our successful business growth, execution, and successful exits. I personally have been tasked with building effective specialty service (e.g. CRO / CDRO) companies, and/or units within the company (e.g, Sales, BD, Marketing, Laboratories, Operations, GM), cross-functional teams, including being responsible for both internal and external business alliances, with various key stakeholders, requiring various and customized business solutions. I welcome the the opportunity to catch up with my LinkedIn friends and colleagues, to open up new networks, as I investigate and move into this next chapter.
